Party Wall Notice

A formal written notice served on an adjoining owner under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 before commencing certain building works. Notices must be given at least 1 month (for party structure works) or 2 months (for new buildings or excavations near neighbouring structures) before works begin. The adjoining owner has 14 days to respond - consent, dissent, or counter-notice. Failure to serve notice when required is a civil wrong.
