You are at the right place. This web site contains a great deal of advice and there are links to other references, most importantly the Governments Advisory Booklet, Government Guidance: Preventing & Resolving Disputes, the Party Wall etc Act 1996 itself. Additional reference and advice can be obtained from the Faculty of Party Wall Surveyors and the RICS.
Building Owners are the owners of the property where the work is proposed. Adjoining Owners are normally the owners of surrounding properties but can also be the owners of flats above or below proposed works. An Adjoining Owner is normally a freeholder, leaseholder or long term tenant. Short term rental tenants (less than 1 year) are not Adjoining Owners as defined by the Act.
If minor domestic work is proposed (i.e a loft or simple extension) and both owners, whilst wishing to properly follow the law and benefit from the maximum protection, are sensible and co-operative then the best solution is for the Adjoining Owner to consent subject to a prior Schedule of Condition of their property.
