LondonParty Wall Matters - The Party Wall Act explained 
If you have been or are being affected by Party Wall issues, are a building owner planning work which may fall under the Party Wall Etc Act 1996 (Read the Party Wall Etc Act 1996), or are an adjoining building owner in need of a Party Wall Surveyor we should be able to help.
The Party Wall Etc Act 1996
If you intend to carrying out building work which involves one of the following categories
- Work on an existing wall or structure shared with another property
- Building a free standing wall or a wall of a building up to or astride the boundary with a neighbouring property
- Excavating near a neighbouring building
Then you must find out whether that work falls within the Party Wall etc. Act. If it does, you must correctly notify all affected neighbours by sending a Party Wall Notice (see a typical Notice under Section 3 of the Act). If you have received a notification then you must respond correctly to avoid prejudicing your position.
