Protecting property. Preserving relationships.
Since the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 came into force, Hills has been actively involved in the preparation, negotiation, and adjudication of Party Wall Awards. Our team has extensive experience acting on behalf of both building owners undertaking works and adjoining owners seeking to protect their property from potential impact.
The Party Wall Act exists to safeguard property owners from structural effects caused by neighbouring developments. It requires developers to serve formal notice for specific works that could impact shared or adjacent structures. These include modifications to shared walls, building on or near boundaries, and excavation close to neighbouring properties.
