Party wall Act

Before starting any building work you need to check whether the Party Wall Act applies for your particular project.​​

​

• Party Walls are walls that sit on the land of 2 or more owners and form part of the building or boundary wall.

• Party wall Structures also cover wall or floor partitions that separate buildings owned by different owners such as flats and maisonettes.

• The Party wall Act protects the interests of all owners, it also prevents and resolves disputes that may arise in relation to party and boundary walls as well as excavations.

• If you have a shared wall and are carrying out building works within 3 meters of the party wall you may need a Party Wall Award​.

​​

​The Party Wall Act is separate from obtaining planning permission or building regulations approval.
