What is a Party Wall Notice?
A Party Wall Notice is a formal written notice served under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. It’s used when a building owner plans work that could affect a shared wall/structure, a boundary, or nearby foundations. The purpose is to inform the adjoining owner and give them the chance to respond in writing.
The 3 main types of Party Wall Notice
- Line of Junction Notice (new wall at/astride the boundary)
- Party Structure Notice (works to a party wall/party structure)
- Notice of Adjacent Excavation (excavations within 3m or 6m, depending on depth)
Depending on the design, it’s common to serve more than one notice type. It’s important that all relevant notices are served correctly to avoid delays later.
If you are a building owner and need to identify the adjoining owner, you can search via the Land Registry.

Friendly and very quick service. Highly recommend
Richard is a professional and diligent surveyor. I found him very courteous and pragmatic to deal with. Would recommend on house surveys, schedules of condition and PWA.
I am very happy with the service this company provided. Both quick and friendly made the whole process of dealing with the Party Wall Agreement easy. Many thanks Dave
Friendly and efficient service.We would use this company again.
Very good experience, good communication and smooth process. Quick too.
It has been a delight working with Richard. I had 5 party walls to sort involving a neighbour either side and owners of the flat above me. From start to finish it took approximately 3 weeks and was carried out and completed very efficiently. His response time was excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend his services. Jamie
Thank you Richard for your services. It was great to work with you. The process was very efficient and helpful at all stages.
Excellent work for Party Wall agreement - Richard was very helpful and efficient. Would throughly recommend.
Richard was absolutely brilliant in getting my party wall agreements for a complex loft extension across the line, throughout lockdown too, when getting access was challenging. He was very helpful when I then had to revert after a new obstacle arose, which needed his advice and a subsequent/additional award at short notice. Very much recommend - thanks Rich!
We engaged Richard Hourican for some party wall work and his response-time, ongoing communication, pricing and service were all excellent. He also went further and sorted us out with an engineer, who was also excellent. Highly recommended.
Richard was very efficient, fuss-free, and well organised. A pleasure to work with.
