Party Wall Agreements are most commonly needed for building works that involve loft conversions, the insertion of damp proof courses and the digging of new foundations (as would be required in building an extension). Silwood Associates have extensive experience of dealing with party wall matters. Our role is to resolve any differences between neighbours when building works to a party structure, or within specified distances from a neighbour’s property, is proposed by making an 'Agreement' or 'Award', which is legally binding on both parties. We can advise on the processes and implications of the Party Wall etc Act 1996 and we can review designs and prepare the necessary notices for issue for those carrying out the works.
