How can we help?
When planning construction work involving party walls, disputes and disagreements between neighbours often arise, creating complexities and stresses that require expert legal assistance. At Stephensons, we specialise in providing comprehensive and dedicated legal services surrounding party wall matters. Our experienced solicitors understand the delicate nature of party wall issues, offering tailored solutions designed to help you navigate disputes effectively while safeguarding your property rights.
Our team of specialist party wall solicitors have a proven track record in successfully resolving disputes, proactively assisting clients in understanding their legal responsibilities, and ensuring compliance with the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. Whether you're initiating new construction or defending your legal rights against a neighbour’s proposed build, Stephensons can provide the expert advice you require, ensuring your interests are fully protected.
A party wall agreement, sometimes referred to as a party wall award, is a legally binding document that is created to manage building works affecting a shared or adjoining wall between two neighbouring properties. It can also relate to works conducted on the boundary lines between properties. The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 provides clear guidelines for carrying out building works that affect shared walls, structures, or boundaries, outlining the obligations and rights of both parties involved.
The primary purpose of the agreement is to minimise potential disputes between neighbours, establishing clear terms on how and when the planned construction works will take place. This agreement covers various aspects such as structural changes, underpinning, excavations near or around party walls, and building alterations or extensions that directly impact adjoining properties.
Understanding and complying with the terms of a party wall agreement can significantly reduce the likelihood of disputes escalating into costly and time-consuming legal battles. Hence, obtaining professional legal advice early in the planning process is highly recommended.
