Almost every house in the SW postcodes is joined to another. A basement, a loft or a new steel can all touch a shared wall. The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 sets the steps.

Notices go out first. Work to the wall itself needs two months. A dig within three metres needs one month.

A schedule of condition then records the neighbour’s side, photograph by photograph. It protects both owners if a crack appears later.

In a house of flats, each floor may be a party structure. More owners means more notices, so we read the titles early.
