Party Wall Matters

The purpose of The Party Wall etc Act 1996 is to give rights and obligations to building owners and adjoining property owners. If construction work is contemplated at or near a property boundary, The Party Wall etc Act 1996 probably applies:

Where the act applies, BSA acts for 'Building Owners' and for 'Adjoining Owners'. [See Reference > Does the Party Wall etc Act Apply?]

The cost of a Party Wall Surveyor employed by an Adjoining Owner to respond to the notification issued by a Building Owner is usually paid for by the Building Owner.

We supply Party Wall Surveyors to:

• Survey sites
• Notify Adjoining Owners
• Respond to notices from Building Owners
• Negotiate reasonable agreements between Building and Adjoining Owners

...and advise you of your rights and obligations under the Act.
