If you are served with a Party Wallnotice, you should consult an experienced Party Wall Surveyor immediately to resolve any issues
developing between neighbours. At this early stage its crucial to ensuring the process runs smoothly, and the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 (the Act) provides a framework to achieve this goal.
Approximately 50% of Party Wall Surveyors are practising without degree level education never having attended University, but
instead have undertaken a three day training course offered by trade associations.

qualifications.

A Party Wall Award is a legally binding
document drafted by a Party Wall Surveyor. A Building Owner cannot act as his own Party Wall Surveyor even if he has suitable qualifications the Act does not allow that involvement. The Award sets
out the rights and responsibilities of the Building Owner instigating the development works.
The Party Wall Surveyor can act as an “Agreed” Party Wall Surveyor for all parties or
as the Building Owners Party Wall Surveyor working with the Adjoining Owner's Party Wall Surveyor to jointly agreed the Party Wall Award. The Party Wal Award describes the works to be carried out
that relate to notifiable works under the Act.
The Party Wall Award sets out the timing and manner of the proposed works and can include drawings, method statements, structural
calculations, details of loadings or excavations.
The Act provides, the Building Owner is responsible to make good any damage caused by his contractors to the Adjoining Owner's property.
This can be a sum of money determined by the Party Wall Surveyor of being allowed to make good the damage himself.
Although not even mentioned in the Act it is best practice to include a Party Wall schedule of condition of the Adjoining Owner's property
in the Party Wall Award. This document describes the current condition of the Party Wall before works commence and is accompanied by digital images of any relevant
areas.
The schedule of condition then acts as a point of reference if notifiable works cause
damage to the Adjoining Owners property.
Because the Party Wall Award is a legal document, we recommend the Party Wall Award is stored in a safe place ideally with the title Deeds
of the property. The Party Wall Award is both a useful reference to the works undertaken, and some Party Wall Awards provide permission for future works to be financially accountable as well as
identifying which ownership instigated them.
A retrospective Party Wall Award can only be served if no notices for notifiable Party Wall works have been served under the Act and in
the event damage has been caused to the Adjoining Owner's property.
