Solution
If you intend to build on, or perhaps close to, a boundary, then you may have to first give notice to all the Adjoining Owners. There could be several ”adjoining owners” for each neighbouring property.
If the neighbours consent, you may simply continue with the work when the notice period has expired. You can gain the right to enter their land to carry out the work. This can include encroaching on their land with your foundations.
If a dispute arises in connection with your proposed work , then one or more surveyors will have to be appointed to resolve it under the Party Wall Act 1996.
If you intend to use reinforced concrete foundations you must have the consent of your neighbours.
An experienced party wall surveyor can handle all of the initial statutory formalities on your behalf – often for a fixed fee.
As a first step you can contact Tony Kay or Dianne Green on 0114 276 7074 to discuss the position as it specifically applies to you.
