Under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, every ‘adjoining owner’ in Aberdare or elsewhere is subject to the provisions of the Act.
The Party Wall Act provides a legal framework for preventing disputes and resolving building and boundary problems between neighbours. The Party Wall Act includes new builds, extensions, conversions and building repairs. It also covers boundary walls and excavations, which can affect neighbouring properties.
Every adjoining owner or neighbouring property has rights or responsibilities under the Act. In a typical domestic scenario, this is usually limited to one other neighbouring party. However, in more built up areas or larger commercial developments, the Party Wall Act can affect multiple adjoining owners.
The process of serving Party Wall notices, mediating disputes and issuing Party Wall awards can sometimes become complex, lengthy and expensive, if not handled professionally. The Chartered Surveyors at Aberdare Surveyors can work to ensure the demands of the Party Wall Act are dealt with thoroughly and efficiently.
If your neighbour is carrying out building work up to your boundary line they are required under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 to issue a formal notice and allow you time to object. We can serve these notices on your behalf.
If you want to dispute the works our surveyor can help you manage the process effectively and avoid costly damage.
If you and your neighbour agree about the building works we can prepare the formal paperwork that you are recommended to use.
Have you carried out your Schedule of Condition? All parties should have a formal verified Schedule of Condition prior to works being commenced, which we can prepare.
