A party wall divides the buildings of two owners and the boundary between the ownerships is, generally, somewhere in the thickness of the wall.
The Party Wall etc, Act 1996 gives the owner of a building certain rights to carry out works to a party wall.
However, the building owner must serve a notice on his next-door neighbour informing him of his intention.
There is always the possibility that some damage may be caused to the adjoining owners property, and the adjoining owner, therefore has the right to appoint his own surveyor to look after his interests.

Mike, thanks for this excellent building survey.
