What is a Party Wall Notice?

A Party Wall Notice is used to give neighbours notice of intended building works that affect a boundary between properties. Sending Party Wall Notices in certain situations (eg when you’re making alterations to or constructing new party walls or excavating near them) is a legal requirement under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 (’the Act’).

For use in England and Wales only.

When should I use a Party Wall Notice?

Use this Party Wall Notice:

• to inform your neighbours (ie ‘adjoining owners’) of your intentions to start works on your property
• when you want to carry out work covered by the Act. Relevant works include:
  • alterations to or construction of a party wall or other structures used in common with neighbours or near a boundary line, or
  • excavations of a certain depth near a boundary line
