The Party Wall etc. Act 1996: Three Key Types of Work Covered in Harrow

The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 is crucial for maintaining harmony between neighbors during construction projects. Here are the three primary types of work it covers:

1. Works Directly to a Party Wall, Party Structure, or Party Fence Wall
– This includes tasks like repairs, maintenance, and alterations that directly impact the shared wall or structure. In Harrow, where many properties share common walls, it is essential to ensure all work is compliant to avoid disputes.

2. Excavations Close to Adjoining Properties
– Excavations within 3 meters or 6 meters that go deeper than the foundations of neighbouring properties fall under this category. Given Harrow’s mix of historical and modern buildings, proper notices and agreements are vital to ensure the safety and stability of adjoining structures.

3. Construction of New Walls on or Near the Boundary Line
– Building new walls that are up to, or straddle, the boundary line between properties requires careful planning and agreement to prevent disputes and ensure compliance with legal requirements. This is particularly important in Harrow, where property boundaries can be intricate due to varied urban development.

Why This Matters for Your Project in Harrow

Understanding these types of work is essential for compliance and avoiding disputes in Harrow. By working with experienced Party Wall Surveyors, you can ensure all procedures are followed, protecting both your property and your relationship with your neighbours.

Party Wall Surveying Guide for Harrow

A Building Owner must provide written notice two months in advance for building works affecting a party wall or boundary, and one month’s notice for excavation works. To ensure all party wall matters are finalised ahead of your project start date, it is advisable to appoint your Party Wall Surveyor three months before your building works begin.

Key Points:
– Notice Periods: Two months’ notice for building works affecting a party wall or boundary, and one month’s notice for excavation works.
– Timing: Appoint a Party Wall Surveyor three months before starting your building works to ensure timely resolution of party wall matters.
– Planning Permission: Not required to serve a Party Wall Notice, but once served, you have up to 12 months to commence work.
– Response Time: After serving a Party Wall Notice, the adjoining owner has fourteen days to respond, with potential outcomes being consent or dissent.
– Local Authority Notices: When serving a Party Wall Notice on a local authority like the London Borough of Harrow, you may experience delayed responses due to the bureaucratic process. At Icon Surveyors, we ensure that the process is handled correctly to prevent any delays.

At Icon Surveyors, we manage the entire process efficiently, ensuring compliance with the Party Wall Act and minimizing any potential delays. Trust us to handle your party wall matters in Harrow with professionalism and expertise.

Sean W.

Icon have been amazing. From when I appointed them to the service of my award. Great service! Thank you again.

Ollie B.

Beau and Sadek dealt with my party wall matter in a friendly and efficient manner. My neighbour had refused to use an agreed surveyor and instead appointed a party wall surveyor who raised a number of detailed questions which Beau and Sadek answered rapidly. Highly recommended.

Justin D.

Beau and his team provided us a professional and satisfied service. There was 2 weeks delay due to mis-understanding but Beau’s team handled well and put great efforts to ensure we obtained the party wall award in time for our construction work. I would recommend their service.

Tao Fu

Thoroughly happy with Beau’s work as my party wall surveyor and would be happy to recommend him. He dealt with matters promptly, explained things well and alleviated stress on my part. He also handled my adjoining owner’s surveyor (one of “those” party wall surveyors) very well. Thank you very much, Beau!

Azz H.

Very good service Beau went the extra mile. Pre and post survey phone calls also really helped give me assurance. Highly recommend.

    Do I need to serve a Party Wall Notice for an extension?

    Yes, if your extension is close to or involves work on a shared wall or boundary. It’s important to serve a Party Wall Notice to notify your neighbours about the proposed work.

    A Party Wall Notice is a formal notification to your neighbours about planned construction work that affects a shared wall or boundary. It includes details about the proposed work and gives neighbours options to consent or dissent.

    Typically, the Building Owner who initiates the work pays the surveyor’s fees, especially if the work benefits them solely. However, costs may be shared if the work also benefits the Adjoining Owner.

    If your neighbour does not respond to a Party Wall Notice, you can serve a second notice. If there is still no response, you can appoint a surveyor on their behalf to ensure the process continues without delays.

    No, a neighbour’s dissent does not stop the work but invokes the dispute resolution process under the Party Wall Act. Appointed surveyors will agree on a Party Wall Award to outline the conditions under which the work can proceed

    If your neighbour starts work without serving a Party Wall Notice, you can obtain a Party Wall Injunction from the court to stop the work until the proper procedures are followed and a Party Wall Award is in place.

    The duration can vary based on the complexity of the project, but it typically takes between 2 weeks to 2 months. It’s advisable to serve notices at least two months before the planned start of work.

    A Schedule of Condition is a detailed report that documents the current state of a property before construction work begins. It includes photographs and descriptions of any existing defects to protect both parties in case of disputes.

    A Party Wall Agreement, also known as a Party Wall Award, is a legal document agreed upon by appointed surveyors that outlines the rights and responsibilities of the building owner and adjoining owner, ensuring the construction work complies with the Party Wall Act.

    Yes, Party Wall Awards can be amended if necessary, especially if there are changes in the design or scope of work. Sometimes, addendum awards are issued to address these changes.
