Dispute Resolution under the Act

Dispute Resolution under the Party Wall etc. Act


When adjoining property owners cannot agree on proposed building works covered by the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, a formal dispute arises. Our Dispute Resolution service ensures these disagreements are handled professionally, fairly, and in full compliance with the law.

Under the Act, disputes are typically resolved through the appointment of one or more Party Wall Surveyors, who act impartially to protect the interests of both parties. These surveyors do not represent either owner but work independently to produce a legally binding document called a Party Wall Award. This award sets out the scope of work, timelines, access rights, and protective measures, ensuring clarity and fairness for all involved.

Our service includes:

  • Surveyor Appointment & Guidance – We assist in appointing an experienced surveyor or act as the Agreed Surveyor for both owners.
  • Preparation of the Party Wall Award – Detailing the work, conditions, and dispute resolution terms.
  • Schedule of Condition Reports – Documenting the state of adjoining properties before work begins to prevent future claims.
  • Monitoring & Compliance – Ensuring all works adhere to the Award and the Act throughout the project.
  • Dispute Management – Handling any issues during or after construction, including damage claims and variations.

The purpose of this process is to safeguard property owners, prevent costly legal battles, and maintain good neighborly relations. By choosing our service, you gain peace of mind knowing your project is legally compliant and professionally managed.
