Under the Party Wall Act 1996, certain works near or on a boundary require formal procedures. These include works directly affecting a party wall or structure. Excavation within three or six metres of a neighbouring property may also require notice. Building a new wall along a boundary line triggers similar requirements. In all cases, a party wall notice must be served, and a party wall award may be needed.

Our surveyors have extensive experience managing party wall matters on complex developments. We regularly act where multiple adjoining owners are involved. Early engagement ensures your project meets all requirements under the Act. If you are an adjoining owner, we can advise on your rights. We help negotiate a fair party wall agreement and ensure procedures are properly followed.

Where there is uncertainty about a boundary position, we offer expert advice. We review title deeds, Land Registry documents, and legal plans. We then arrange a measured site survey to assess the physical boundary. A detailed report is prepared outlining the findings. Where needed, we produce plans that clearly plot the assessed legal boundary line. This helps to resolve boundary disputes or confirm ownership clarity.
