​

What Are Party Wall Matters?

A party wall is a structure or boundary shared between two properties. If your construction work affects this wall or the ground near it, you are required by law to:

1. Serve a Party Wall Notice at least two months in advance.

2. Allow your neighbors to consent, dissent, or request surveyor involvement.

3. If dissent is raised, appoint surveyors to prepare a legally binding Party Wall Award.

​

Common projects that fall under the Act include:

• Loft conversions or roof extensions

• Rear or side home extensions

• New garden or boundary walls

• Basement excavations and underpinning

• Major refurbishments impacting shared structures
