Party Wall Contact

Adjoining Owner Party Wall Contact

Information on what to send when you have received a party wall notice and want advice on your position, the process, or the next steps.

Why the notice and drawings matter

The notice and any supporting drawings usually determine what kind of works are proposed and whether the process appears to have been started properly.

Seeing those documents early helps explain the options available to an adjoining owner and whether further information, inspection, or procedural correction may be needed.

What to send

The following items are especially helpful if you have received a notice:

  • The notice itself, together with any drawings or structural information supplied.
  • Any correspondence already exchanged with the building owner or their surveyor.
  • A short note on any specific concerns about access, timing, cracking, or working arrangements.
  • Photographs of the current condition if there are features you are especially concerned about.

What happens next

  1. The notice and any supporting material are reviewed to explain what stage the process has reached and what options are open to you.
  2. You receive guidance on consent, dissent, appointment, and whether a schedule of condition should be arranged.
  3. If needed, the discussion can move forward into adjoining owner representation and award progression.

Useful note

Even if the information sent to you feels incomplete, it is still useful to pass it on. A quick review can usually identify what is missing and whether it matters.
