Party Wall Notice
What to do if you receive a Party Wall NoticeA party wall notice is a formal notification that should be served by a property owner (the building owner) on their adjoining neighbours (the adjoining owners) when they plan to carry out certain construction or renovation works that may affect a shared wall, boundary, or structure.
The party wall notice should include details such as:
The name and address of the building owner carrying out the works.
The nature and scope of the proposed works, including plans or drawings if applicable.
The anticipated start date of the works.
A request for the adjoining owners to provide their consent to the works or appoint a party wall surveyor.
A mention of the statutory rights and obligations of all parties involved.
The specific requirements for serving a party wall notice can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the relevant party wall legislation in place. In some cases, the notice may need to be served a certain number of days or weeks before the proposed works are due to commence.
It is the responsibility of the building owner to serve the party wall notice to all relevant adjoining owners. Failure to serve a party wall notice when required can lead to disputes and potential legal consequences.
