Party Wall Surveys

What is a party wall / party structure?

The Party Wall Etc. Act 1996 describes a wall as being a ‘party wall’ if it straddles the boundary of land of two or more different owners, and also where it stands wholly on one owners land, but it is used by two or more owners to separate their buildings. The term ‘party structure’ also appears within the Act and is used where the dividing structure is approached by separate staircases or entrances, an example of this would be in flats where the floor/ceiling is deemed to be a party structure. Informing your neighbour(s) should be done first in person, to help maintain a healthy relationship, and then through serving notice.

  • Are you planning to carry out building works near to or on your shared boundary, formally known as a ‘party wall’? If so, then you must inform your neighbour of your plans within two months to a year before works are to start.
