Adhering to the Party Wall Act, if you are a property owner in Richmond, it is necessary to give notice before commencing any construction work on an existing party wall or in proximity to your property’s boundary.
It is a requirement to inform your neighbouring property owners if you have intentions to undertake any of the following actions:
For a smoother process, it is advisable to engage in communication with your neighbours before sending out the notice. Neighbours who feel consulted are generally more willing to avoid promptly appointing a separate surveyor.
A Party Wall notice in Richmond refers to an official declaration made by the ‘Building Owner’ who plans to undertake construction activities. This notice can be issued by the Surveyor appointed by the Building Owner. The primary purpose of the Party Wall notice is to provide the ‘Adjoining Owner’ with three potential options to consider:
Grant Consent to the Party Wall Notice: By choosing to grant consent, the adjoining owner maintains the protections granted by the Party Wall Act. This enables the building owner to proceed with their intended construction work without requiring further Awards. In such instances, we highly recommend establishing a Schedule of Condition to safeguard the interests of all involved parties.
Object and Appoint a Party Wall Surveyor to Act on My Behalf: If the adjoining owner objects to the Party Wall notice, they trigger the formalities and safeguards outlined in the Party Wall Act. Should they opt to appoint their own Party Wall Surveyor, this necessitates the building owner also appointing a Party Wall Surveyor. The two selected Party Wall Surveyors will then follow the prescribed procedures and reach an agreement on a Party Wall Award.
Object and Appoint a Mutual Party Wall Surveyor: This option is similar to the second response to the Party Wall notice. The only distinction is that a single Party Wall Surveyor acts impartially on behalf of both parties.
A Party Wall stands astride the boundary of land belonging to two or more owners and either:
– Forms part of a building
– Separates two or more buildings
– or consists of a ‘party fence wall’
A ‘party fence wall’ is not part of a building but stands astride the boundary between land of different owners and is used to separate the land.
Floors or walls between flats are ‘party structures’.
Disregarding the Party Wall Act can result in severe legal consequences, expenses, and project delays. If you reside in Richmond and your neighbor has initiated construction work without taking the Party Wall Act into account, you have the right to take legal measures.
Should your neighbor’s negligence regarding the Party Wall Act lead to a conflict, you are entitled to initiate legal proceedings against them. Courts generally view any failure to adhere to the statutory obligations defined by the Party Wall Act unfavorably.
One of the significant outcomes of facing legal action is the financial aspect. If a Building Owner has not fulfilled their responsibilities under the Party Wall Act, they are likely to be held accountable for all expenses associated with the legal procedures required to halt the work and resolve the matter. These expenses are likely to exceed the cost of complying with the Party Wall Act itself.
Furthermore, the court has the authority to issue an injunction to halt ongoing work until the dispute is settled. This can lead to substantial project delays and financial setbacks. Interim injunctions can be swiftly granted, effectively stopping the work until the process outlined in the Party Wall Act is properly followed.
