A Party Wall Survey involves evaluating the condition of walls shared between properties. This process is particularly crucial in densely populated areas where shared walls are common. By documenting the wall's condition prior to any nearby construction work, the survey helps to prevent potential disputes.
The Party Wall Act of 1996 serves as a vital legal framework regulating party wall matters across the region and its surroundings. It establishes the obligations of property owners undertaking projects such as loft conversions or rear extensions.
Familiarity with this act is key to ensuring legal compliance and preventing disputes related to party walls. Engaging a qualified party wall surveyor can help property owners confidently manage the intricacies of the party wall process, providing clarity and reassurance.
Party Walls for Property Owners Planning Construction Work
Property owners or neighbors planning to undertake construction work involving a party wall or within six meters of an adjacent property are eligible for this service.
What Is the Party Wall Act?
The Party Wall Act of 1996 ensures the interests of both parties are safeguarded by requiring proper notification and the preparation of a formal agreement.
What Does It Involve?
To document the condition of neighboring properties before construction begins, a Schedule of Condition, typically accompanied by photographs, is created.
Our RICS-chartered surveyors provide instant quotes and offer a comprehensive range of services tailored to your needs.
Building owners planning construction involving party wall issues are required to serve formal notices to the adjoining property owners.
Adjoining owners have the option to either consent to or oppose the proposed works. If they choose to dissent, it triggers a dispute that requires the involvement of surveyors. In such cases, the building owner is responsible for covering the surveyors' fees.
Prompt responses from adjoining owners are crucial to facilitating the party wall process. Both parties share obligations under the Party Wall Act to ensure compliance and the seamless progression of the construction project.
Party Wall Notices are an essential element of the Party Wall Act, acting as formal communication about proposed construction activities. These notices notify neighboring property owners about planned works, such as building new walls along the boundary line, and give them the chance to respond appropriately.
To ensure proper service of these notices, it is critical to begin the party wall process correctly. Seeking expert advice can help confirm that the notices meet all legal requirements. The responsibility for compliance rests with the building owner or their appointed surveyor. This crucial first step lays the groundwork for a seamless party wall process.
Types of Boundary Disputes
Boundary disagreements typically fall into four main categories:
Disputes Over Lot Lines
Conflicts involving the exact location of property boundaries.
Fencing, Landscaping, and Structures
Issues related to fences, landscaping, or structures like sheds are common.
Access Disputes
Disagreements regarding the right of access to specific areas of a property.
Claims of Illegal Possession
Accusations where one party claims unauthorized use or ownership of property.
Our comprehensive property surveys address all such concerns, including detailed snagging lists.
