You must tell your neighbours if you want to carry out any building work near or on your shared property boundary, or ‘party wall’, in England and Wales. MBS can give expert advice in this complex area

Party walls stand on the land of 2 or more owners and either: form part of a building or don’t form part of a building, such as a garden wall (not including wooden fences). Walls on one owner’s land used by other owners (2 or more) to separate their buildings are also party walls.

If you are intending to carry out building works which may affect your neighbour’s property or whether you are a neighbour affected by them, we can act on your behalf.

If you are unsure or have received a Notice from a neighbour, please get in touch and we will offer free impartial advice.
