Party Walls - an expert view
Broadly speaking, where buildings belonging to different owners are separated by a wall, the Party Walls etc Act 1996 allows the owner on one side to carry out building work to the wall – providing the correct notice has been served to the owner on the other side.
If the work is not done properly, the Act sets out a dispute resolution procedure to be followed, Brady Solicitors explains.
