What Is A Party Wall Notice?

Before discussing how Faulkners can help, it’s essential to understand what a party wall notice is.

A party wall notice is a notice given by an adjoining property owner to inform you that they intend to carry out building work that may affect your property.

If you receive a party wall notice, the law requires you to respond within 14 days.

Do You Have To Respond To A Party Wall Notice?

Yes. It’s a legal requirement to respond to a party wall notice. However, your response can either be to give consent to the proposed work or dissent if you have concerns about the work.

If you dissent, you need to appoint a surveyor to prepare a party wall award that will outline the procedures to be carried out.
