Party wall disputes in the UK can be complex, arising when building works impact shared walls or boundaries between properties.
ASL Chartered Surveyors provides expert guidance to help property owners navigate the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, ensuring that all works are legally compliant and neighbourly relations are maintained.
Whether you’re carrying out construction or responding to a party wall notice, we offer independent advice, dispute resolution, and legally compliant party wall agreements to protect your interests.
Party wall disputes arise when building works affect a shared or adjoining wall between properties. These disputes typically occur when one party carries out construction, alterations, or excavations near a neighbouring structure, potentially impacting the stability or integrity of the shared wall.
The first step in preventing a party wall dispute is to serve a valid Party Wall Notice before starting any work.
If a dispute arises, having an experienced Chartered Surveyor involved early can help resolve matters efficiently and avoid costly legal action.

A Party Wall Survey ensures all parties are protected, potential risks are assessed, and disputes are avoided before construction begins.
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 is a key piece of legislation designed to prevent and resolve disputes between neighbours when construction work affects a shared or adjoining wall. It applies to party walls, boundary walls, and excavations near neighbouring properties, ensuring that any structural changes or developments do not compromise the stability of a shared structure.
Under the Act, the building owner must serve a Party Wall Notice to the adjoining owner before any work begins. If the neighbour does not agree, a Party Wall Surveyor is appointed to prepare a legally binding Party Wall Award, outlining the rights and responsibilities of both parties and protecting against future disputes.
The Access to Neighbouring Land Act 1992 allows property owners to seek legal access to a neighbour’s land for essential repairs and maintenance, such as fixing a roof, repairing gutters, or maintaining external walls. If access is denied, the property owner can apply for a court order to carry out the necessary work.
Party wall disputes can be complex, but with the right expertise, they can be managed smoothly and legally. ASL Chartered Surveyors provides expert guidance on the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, ensuring compliance, preventing disputes, and protecting your property interests.
