The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies throughout England and Wales and provides a framework for dispute resolution in relation to work on party walls. If a property owner wishes to make alterations to their property in a manner which requires the use or alteration of a party wall then they are required by law to serve notice under the act.
Both residential and commercial properties are covered by the Act and anyone wishing to carry out building work on their Sussex home or business close to a boundary or adjacent properties will need to take the Party Wall etc. Act into consideration. In cases where disputes arise a Party Wall Award will be made.
