GRAYS BUILDING CONSULTANTS

If you are planning an extension or loft conversion, the chances are you will be affected by the 'Party Wall Act'. This legislation provides a framework for preventing and resolving disputes in relation to party walls, boundary walls and excavations near neighbouring buildings.

​

As the 'Building Owner', you are required to give notice to the 'Adjoining Owner' of your intention to carry out works to, or near to the party wall.

​

In my experience, the Adjoining Owner usually consents to the works, but in some cases they do not, and a 'dispute' situation arises. 

​

GRAYS will be able to guide you through the process and help you discharge your legal obligations.

​

If you think you may be affected by the Act, please contact us for a chat.
