As the Adjoining Owner you are unlikely to directly benefit from your neighbour's party wall works; in fact, for a short period of time, you may experience some disruption to your daily life and it is possible that your home may suffer from damage as a result of the party wall works.
Consequently when you receive notice under the Party Wall Act from the Building Owner you should carefully consider how best to safeguard your home and your rights during the progress of the works.

Often, the first time that an Adjoining Owner becomes aware of the Party Wall Act is when a notice drops through their door.
There are 3 types of notice that a Building Owner may serve upon an Adjoining Owner to make them aware that he intends to carry out work which falls under the scope of the Act.
Party Structure notices are covered under section 3 of the Act although they cover works notifiable under section 2 (2) (a) to (n).
Generally speaking these are alterations to the party Wall itself and include common jobs such as: cutting holes to insert beams and padstones, cutting in flashings and removing chimney breasts.

The Party Wall Surveyors (or the "Agreed Surveyor" if the two owners can concur in a single appointment) will prepare a document known as a "Party Wall Award" (sometimes called a "Party Wall Agreement").This document sets out certain guidelines in relation to how the work should proceed and covers items such as working hours, contractor's insurance and access for the surveyor(s) during the course of the works.
If you do not think your neighbour is likely to consent to the planned works it is worth involving a Party Wall Surveyor at an early stage.
