    FAQS

    Can you get a party wall agreement without a surveyor?

    Yes, you can obtain a party wall agreement without a surveyor by negotiating directly with your neighbour. However, it’s crucial to ensure the agreement is written, signed, and compliant with the Party Wall etc. Act 1996.

    Who pays for the surveyor in the party wall agreement?

    In most cases, the building owner initiating the work pays for the surveyor’s fees under the Party Wall Agreement. However, costs may be split if both parties benefit from the work.

    Can I draw up my own party wall agreement?

    Yes, you can draw up your own party wall agreement if all affected neighbours agree, but it must comply with the Party Wall Act 1996 to be legally valid. Consulting a professional ensures accuracy and avoids disputes.

    Can your Neighbour block a party wall agreement?

    No, your neighbour cannot block a party wall agreement outright. However, they can dissent, which triggers the appointment of surveyors to resolve the dispute and agree on terms.

    Do I need a party wall agreement for a loft conversion?

    Yes, you likely need a party wall agreement for a loft conversion if the work affects a shared wall, ceiling, or floor with a neighbouring property, such as cutting into a party wall or strengthening it for structural support.

    How long does a party wall agreement last?

    A party wall agreement typically lasts indefinitely once it is signed, covering the duration of the work and future maintenance obligations unless specified otherwise.

    What Happens if the Party Wall Agreement is Breached?

    If a party wall agreement is breached, the responsible party may face legal action, including claims for damages or an injunction to stop the work. They may also be required to restore the property to its original condition at their own expense.
