About the Business
The Party Wall Act doesn't just cover works to a Party Wall (a wall separating two properties or built astride a boundary), it applies to various building works on or close to a boundary. It sets down the rights & duties of owners undertaking such works and provides protection to the adjoining owners.
If a dispute arises between a person doing work and a neighbour a Party Wall Surveyor (or two Surveyors) must make a Party Wall Award to resolve the dispute. The surveyor's duty is to examine the proposed works and ensure that they are properly designed and are executed in a manner which is not likely to cause damage to adjoining buildings or property. A detailed record of the condition of the adjoining property is normally made so that if damage is caused it can be identified and then made good.

My Neighbour Is Proposing To Do (Or Is Doing) Work:
The Party Wall Act etc. Act 1996 gives people wanting to do work to their properties specific rights (for example a right of access onto adjoining land) and it also gives neighbours a say over how the rights are exercised and protection against damage or adverse effects. The person doing the work must first serve a notice on affected neighbours. If a neighbour consents the works can progress. Otherwise a Party Wall Award must be made. In either case neighbours receive the protection of the Act.
