Adjoining Owner Advice
If your neighbour intends to start work on shared or adjacent boundaries, you have rights too—under the Party Wall Act. We represent your interests and ensure you're fully informed throughout the process.
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.
What are my rights as an adjoining owner?
You can expect formal notice before work begins, the opportunity to consent or dissent, and—even if you dissent—the right to appoint a surveyor to protect your property interests. Ignoring or misunderstanding your rights can expose you to risks—such as structural damage, unexpected costs, or even compromised living conditions. We’re here to safeguard you every step of the way.
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.
Why does independent advice matter?
We provide impartial interpretation of notices, explain your options clearly, and help you manage responses confidently—keeping you protected without conflict.

Review and explain notices in plain English
Advise on whether you need a surveyor
Help you appoint your own professional if needed
Ensure your rights are upheld throughout the process
