Party Wall etc Act 1996

In 1997 the Government introduced party wall legislation across the whole of England & Wales in the form of the Party Wall etc. Act 1996.

Nathan Associates can help you identify exactly which neighbouring properties fall within the scope of the Party Wall etc. Act.

You can instruct us to serve party wall notices.
Prepare and agree a party wall award. We can produce a schedule of the condition of the neighbouring properties, to ensure that you are not held responsible for any pre-existing defects.

If you are an adjoining owner and your neighbour is carrying out building works

Ensure all controls are in place to minimise the risk of damage to your property.
Monitor the building works and identify any damage to your property.
