Protecting your home, your project, and your neighbourly relationships
Fair, straightforward party wall support
for both sides of the boundary.
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 is a legal requirement that protects both you and your neighbour when building works affect a shared wall, boundary, or structure. If you’re planning an extension, loft conversion, chimney removal, or any work close to a boundary, the Act sets out a simple process you must follow before starting. It ensures everyone is properly notified, potential risks are assessed, and agreements are recorded so the project can move forward safely and without dispute.
Engaging a Party Wall Surveyor gives you clarity, compliance, and peace of mind. Resolve Party Wall Surveyors will guide you through the steps, prepare and serve the correct notices, record the condition of neighbouring property, and produce a legally binding Party Wall Award where required. This protects your project from delays, avoids misunderstandings, and can help keep relationships with neighbours positive — allowing your build to progress with confidence.
