Party Wall Notices

 

Here you can download Party Wall Notices. These can either be submitted by homeowners wishing to carry out building works, or you can appoint a specialist chartered surveyor.

 

Detailed Guidance and Example Party Wall Notices

The right notice to use will depend on the type of building work you want to carry out. So the guide below shows which samples you need to use, after being suitably amended with the specific details.  You can download a draft letter to notify your neighbours, and also an acknowledgement form to give them so they can formally reply to you. (N.B. page / letter numbers in the table below refer to content in the above document).

N.B.   If your neighbour does not confirm their agreement in writing you will need to appoint a Party Wall Surveyor to manage the process.
