Party Wall etc. Act 1996 & Neighbourly Matters
The Party Wall etc Act 1996 is designed to protect the property rights of people wishing to develop land and those individuals holding adjacent property. It provides a framework through which parties can reach agreement on works going forward and safeguard their interests through the drafting of mutually agreed Party Wall Awards.
We can act on behalf on both developers and adjoining owners in helping to prepare Party Wall Notices, Awards, Schedules of Condition and general responses to development next to your property.
We can also help with other neighbourly matters from Rights to Light legislation, Scaffold Licences to the mechanics of the Access to Neighbouring Land Act.
