Party Wall Act

If you are an owner or occupier of property, whether commercial or residential that shares a wall with an adjoining owner or occupier, you have a party wall.

If you are proposing to carry out building work on, over, adjacent to or under a party wall you will need to follow set procedures laid down in statue.

The Party Wall act came into force in 1996. Since then there has been a procedure in place to enable owners and occupiers rights to cut into, extend or alter party walls. The same act gives adjoining owners and occupiers certain rights, in essence to safe guard their property against damage.
