Party Walls
The Party Wall etc Act 1996 places a statutory requirement on those instigating works likely to affect a party structure to serve notice on 'adjoining owners' as defined by the Act.
Often even modest extensions or alterations can invoke the Party Wall etc Act. Assinder Turnham are experienced in implementing the Act and can ensure that your rights prescribed by the Act are implemented or protected. We can serve or respond to the statutory notices required by the Act and prepare Party Wall Awards.
Our party wall experts are members of Pyramus and Thisbe, a professional organisation which convenes regularly to discuss issues arising from the interpretation of the Act and debate 'best practice'. The Act is broadly written and is inevitably open to some interpretation; it is important that this is based on both knowledge and experience.
At Assinder Turnham we work closely with you to understand your requirements, study the facts and then produce expert services to both benefit and protect our clients.
