1. What is a party wall agreement ?
It is very common with alterations to domestic buildings (even for detached houses) that action under the Party Wall legislation will be necessary. Works that affect a wall, fence or any part of your neighbour's structure, within certain specified distances will require notification to adjoining owners in accordance with the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. This notification can be a complicated procedure and take a considerable period of time. We recommend that if you might have an issue with party wall legislation, you approach a Party Wall Surveyor who will be able to advise you and guide you through the process.
