Planning to build on a boundary? Let’s make sure your neighbours are still waving hello after the dust settles.
If your construction project involves a shared wall or is close to your neighbour’s property, you may need more than just planning permission—you'll likely need a Party Wall Agreement.
This isn’t just paperwork. It’s a legally binding agreement that protects both parties and keeps relationships intact—because nothing spoils a housewarming like a court summons from next door.
Why You Need a Party Wall Surveyor
Under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, any work affecting shared structures—such as walls, fences, or excavations near a boundary—requires formal notification and often a party wall agreement. A Party Wall Surveyor ensures that the process is handled legally, fairly, and without unnecessary drama.
For those seeking expert advice on navigating these waters, Party Wall Surveying Services in Bournemouth are just a phone call away. Whether you’re in Bournemouth, Poole, Wimborne, Verwood, or Christchurch, our experienced surveyors are ready to help you handle the process with ease and confidence.
What Exactly Is a Party Wall Agreement?
It’s a legal document outlining the rights and responsibilities of the building owner and the adjoining property owner. It covers the planned construction, timelines, access requirements, and how damage (if any) will be addressed.
If you're doing any of the following, you're probably going to need one:
-
Building a new wall on the boundary
-
Carrying out work on an existing party wall
-
Excavating within 3–6 metres of a neighbouring structure
