Among these, the Party Wall Act is a crucial one, particularly for those planning construction or renovation projects. This article aims to break down the Act and highlight why its role is indispensable.
Understanding the Party Wall Act
The Party Wall Act was instituted in 1996 to prevent and resolve disputes between neighbours sharing a common boundary.

The Role of Party Wall Surveying in Construction Projects
1. Preventing Disputes: Party wall surveying helps prevent legal disputes by ensuring all work conducted is lawful and within the Act's parameters.
2. Safeguarding Properties: It ensures the structural safety of both your property and your neighbour's, avoiding potential damage.
