A party wall is a wall that separates two buildings which are owned by different parties. It can also include a garden wall or a boundary wall. The wall is considered a “party wall” because it is shared by the owners on either side.

When undertaking construction work that may affect a party wall, it is essential to follow the legal process outlined in the Party Wall Act 1996. Failure to do so can result in legal disputes and financial liabilities.

What is a Party Wall Survey?

A party wall survey involves assessing the condition of the party wall and determining the impact that the proposed construction work may have on it. The survey is conducted by a qualified party wall surveyor who acts as an impartial third party. Their role is to ensure that the rights and obligations of all parties involved are protected.

When is a Party Wall Survey Required?

A party wall survey is required if you plan to carry out any of the following types of work:

Building a new wall on the boundary between two properties
Cutting into a party wall to insert beams or other structural supports

The Party Wall Agreement
