Party wall
We bring our clients clarity and peace of mind, by mitigating risk connected to the party wall.
The Party Wall Act is now more than twenty years old but remains as important as ever in real estate development. Under the terms of the Act, party wall matters have to be considered at an early stage of a project. Our approach is based on a deep understanding of the law, our technical expertise, and rigorousness that’s designed to ensure that potential issues are addressed – preferably at the start.
Our specialists advise property developers, designers, project managers, local authorities and private individuals. The projects we’re consulted on are diverse, and we’ve helped to realise major commercial and residential development schemes across the country.
As well as providing party Wall advice and services, we also advise on third party considerations such as party wall boundary disputes, crane and scaffold oversailing matters, and licences. Timing is important. The need for trespass licenses must be identified early on, to avoid lengthy – and potentially costly – negotiations later on. We can handle discussions with affected parties on your behalf, using sensitivity, commercial awareness and technical expertise to reach a positive outcome.
