Party Wall

A wall on the boundary between two properties, standing on land of different owners. The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 sets out rights and obligations when carrying out work that affects a party wall, party fence wall, or excavations near a neighbouring building. Written notice must be given to adjoining owners, and if they dissent, a party wall award is prepared by agreed surveyor(s).
