Planning construction near a shared wall or boundary in High Wycombe? Then a Party Wall Agreement isn’t just a good idea it’s the law.
At Faulkners Surveyors, we specialise in Party Wall Surveying in High Wycombe, helping homeowners and developers navigate the complexities of the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. Whether you're building an extension, converting a loft, or digging foundations close to your neighbour’s property, we ensure you’re legally protected and professionally guided every step of the way.
What Is a Party Wall Agreement and Why Does It Matter?
A Party Wall Agreement is a legally binding document between neighbours. It lays out who’s doing what, when, and how minimising the risk of disputes and misunderstandings once the building work begins.
But here's the catch: you can’t legally start the work without first serving a notice. That gives your neighbours the right to consent, object, or appoint their own surveyor. Skip this step, and you’re opening the door to legal trouble and potentially a court injunction.
