WHEN IS A NOTICE REQUIRED?
Jason Edworthy Gloucestershire Party Wall Experts when work is undertaken to certain boundary walls known as party fence walls.
Any new building astride or up to the building foundations and excavation within 3 meters or to a greater depth requires a party notice.
Furthermore, work to existing walls such as rebuilding, demolition, cutting or underpinning into a party wall so as to support the load bearing beams during loft conversions or extensions, increasing or reducing the party wall’s height or inserting a moist proof course also requires a party notice.
