Party Wall Disputes
If you are sharing a wall with a neighbour or business you want to be sure that neither of you does any work which might affect the other’s property.
If your neighbour is planning on repairing, extending or demolishing a party wall you want any inconvenience kept to a minimum and for there to be no impact on your property which can cause problems later on. You might want to employ a surveyor to check that foundations are not affected.
