Party Wall Surveyor
Party Wall etc Act 1996
The PWA provides the framework for preventing and resolving disputes in relation to party walls, boundary walls and excavations near neighbouring buildings. If you intend to carry out building work which involves:
- work on an existing wall shared with another property; or
- building on the boundary with a neighbouring property; or
- excavating near a neighbouring building
the work may be covered by the Act. If it is then you must notify all adjoining owners (which includes freeholders and leaseholders, but not tenants) whose property will be affected.
The process is straightforward, but without expert advice at the outset you may waste valuable time � and fall out with the neighbours!
