The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 is a legal framework that provides the owners of land and buildings, rights to carry out certain building works.

Our experienced Party Wall Surveyors can provide expert advice on all Party Wall related matters acting as a Building Owner’s Surveyor or as an Adjoining Owner’s Party Wall Surveyor. Being members of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and active members of the Pyramus & Thisbe Society, we promote excellence in Party Wall practice.

Building Works under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996

The Act broadly covers three distinct types of work:

Section 1: New building(s) on or astride site boundaries.
Section 2: Repairs / Works to an existing Party Wall.
Section 6: Adjacent excavation and construction within 3 or 6 meters of a neighbouring building or structure.
