Party Wall Awards
When disputes arise or agreement can't be reached, a formal Party Wall Award becomes essential. This legal document defines the rights and duties of all parties and is enforceable under the law.
As a building owner, you must notify adjoining owners before carrying out certain works, such as building on or near shared walls or boundaries. Our support ensures you understand these obligations, helps you serve notices correctly, and guides you through the process to avoid legal issues or disputes.
Why is an Award important?
Without it, there’s no clear agreement on who pays, how work proceeds, or how damage is handled. An Award ensures clarity—protecting both property owners and enabling work to proceed. Skipping formal Awards can open the door to disputes, delays, or legal complications. We guide you through building a fair, compliant, and enforceable agreement.
Navigating the Party Wall Act can be complex, and mistakes can lead to delays, legal disputes, or costly compensation claims. Our guidance ensures compliance, smooth communication with neighbours, and a clear process for your project to progress without complications.

We bring experience, impartiality, and legal understanding to drafting Awards that are balanced and precise. We help both sides agree on terms and make it binding.
