Party Wall Surveyor Bolton

Professional Party Wall Surveyor services for homeowners and residential property owners undertaking building works in Bolton, Manchester and the surrounding areas.

Party Wall etc. Act 1996

The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 provides a legal framework for certain building works that may affect adjoining properties. Depending on the proposed works, a Building Owner may be required to serve formal notice on affected Adjoining Owners before work begins.

Party wall matters can arise with residential and commercial projects, particularly where there are multiple owners, occupiers or other interested parties.

A Planned Approach to Party Wall Matters

Depending on the proposed works, notices may be required in relation to:

  • Section 1 – Line of Junction
  • Section 3 – Party Structure
  • Section 6 – Adjacent Excavation, including the 3-metre and 6-metre rules


Dealing with Party Wall matters at an early stage can help minimise the risk of disputes and avoid unnecessary delays to your construction programme.

How DRW Surveyors Can Help

Where appointed, we can act as the Building Owner’s Surveyor or Adjoining Owner’s Surveyor, administering the Party Wall process in accordance with the Act.

Our services can include reviewing proposed works, preparing and serving notices, recording Schedules of Condition, liaising with adjoining owners and surveyors, and preparing Party Wall Awards where required.
