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.

Very happy with the service that Richard provided. He worked quickly and was very responsive to calls, emails, and clarifying questions we had.
Richard came recommended and proved to be top drawer. I had zero previous experience of Party Wall Agreements (PWA) and Richard responded swiftly to my urgent enquiry, gave me a quick but patient thumbnail sketch of what their intent and requirements were and subsequently produced an impressive post - survey PWA document. He is very well versed in demystifying processes and jargons and also educative and reassuring when required.
Great advice. Really helpful and thorough. Highly recommend.
Prompt and efficient service from Richard, who also took the time to answer questions and explain the process involved. Highly recommended.
