Party walls are a common feature of apartment blocks in England and other European countries. These walls, which connect the two apartments on either side of the block, were introduced to provide additional vertical support. They also function as sound insulation between units, limit wind infiltration and reduce heat loss in winter.

When removing and adding on to your property, it is good business sense to understand what your rights are. A party wall agreement stipulates who has the rights to the area in and around your party walls. To avoid future issues with neighbors, you should draw up a Party Wall Agreement before proceeding with any building or renovation work.

If you are carrying out building works that fall under the Party Wall Act or have received a Party Wall notice, contact Signature Buildings for assistance. We'll provide you with the advice or help you need with your party wall agreement.
