The Party Wall Act 1996
This only applies to terraced and semi-detached houses. The shared wall with adjoining neighbour(s) is called a Party Wall which will require an agreement before work commences. We supply all the relevant Party Wall Act forms and will need to be signed by your adjoining neighbour(s).
A party wall inspection by THE Loft Conversion Company (Portsmouth) Ltd can be carried out instead of a party wall survey by a chartered surveyor. This will make a significant saving in costs but will have to be agreed by your neighbour(s).
To book an appointment to carry out a Party Wall inspection follow this link.

The booklet has been produced by the Communities & Local Government Department to explain in simple terms how the Party Wall Act 1996 (“the Act”) may affect someone who either wishes to carry out work covered by the Act (the “Building Owner”), or receives notification under the Act of proposed adjacent work (the “Adjoining Owner”).
