The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 is supposed to provide a framework in order to prevent and to resolve any dispute that may result from any type of construction on or near the party wall or boundary wall between two neighbouring properties...

Once adjoining owners are served with a Party Wall Notice they have a couple of different options for how they can respond. Simply put the adjoining owners can either Consent or Dissent to the works, however, the ramifications of these choices are more complex then they may seem. In this post, I will explore both the consent and dissent option and what they mean for the parties involved.

If there is no response from the adjoining owner within 14 days after serving the party wall notice, then you have to consult with a party wall surveyor regarding this issue. A surveyor will analyse the drawings, documentation and Notice in order to ascertain the validity of the Notice.
