Are you planning to undertake building work on your property in Bristol that would involve work on or near a shared wall or boundary with your neighbor`s property? If so, you may need a party wall agreement.
A party wall agreement is a legally binding agreement between you and your neighbor, which outlines the rights and responsibilities of each party when it comes to the construction work. The agreement must be in place before the work is started.
In Bristol, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 governs party wall agreements. The act requires that you notify your neighbor of your intentions to carry out work on a shared wall or boundary, and provide them with a formal notice.
Once the notice is served, your neighbor will have up to 14 days to respond. If they provide written consent, the work can proceed. If they refuse or do not respond, a party wall surveyor must be appointed to draw up a party wall agreement.
The surveyor will assess the proposed construction work and prepare a party wall agreement that outlines the details of the work to be carried out and the responsibilities of each party. The agreement will also include information on how any disputes will be resolved.
It`s important to note that a party wall agreement can be a complex document. It`s recommended that you work with a qualified party wall surveyor who is experienced in the Bristol area to ensure that the agreement is legally compliant and protects your interests.
While party wall agreements are not mandatory for all types of construction work, they are required for certain types of work that can affect shared walls or boundaries, such as:
– Building a new wall or modifying an existing wall that is shared with a neighbor
– Excavating near a shared wall or boundary
– Carrying out extensive renovation work that may affect the stability of a shared wall or boundary
In conclusion, if you`re planning to undertake building work in Bristol that may affect a shared wall or boundary, it`s important to understand the requirements of the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 and ensure that you have a party wall agreement in place. Working with an experienced party wall surveyor can help to ensure that the agreement is legally compliant and protects your interests.
