YOUR NEIGHBOUR DISPUTES YOUR EXTENSION… WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

Planning a rear extension, loft conversion or structural alterations? Before you start building, make sure you understand the Party Wall Act 1996!

Your neighbour doesn’t have to agree with your proposed works for a dispute to arise. But that doesn’t mean your project is automatically stopped. 👇

🔴 HERE’S WHAT HAPPENS NEXT:

✅ 1. A dispute arises – Your neighbour dissents to your Party Wall Notice or fails to respond within the statutory period.

✅ 2. Surveyors are appointed – The statutory dispute resolution process begins, with surveyor appointments made in accordance with the Act.

✅ 3. A Party Wall Award is prepared – Where required, the surveyors determine the relevant matters, including how and when the works can proceed.

✅ 4. The dispute is resolved – If the appointed surveyors cannot agree, a third surveyor may determine the disputed matters.

⚠️ DON’T MAKE THIS COSTLY MISTAKE! Starting relevant work without following the correct Party Wall procedure can lead to delays, additional costs and potential legal action.

🏠 Whether you’re a homeowner, property developer or planning your next renovation, getting the Party Wall process right from the beginning can save you unnecessary stress.

BEFORE YOU BUILD… LOOK AT WHAT’S ALREADY THERE.

This is the part of a renovation most people don’t see. 👀

Existing structure ➡️ proposed works ➡️ new structural elements.

Getting the design and structure right before construction starts can save you serious headaches later.

DID YOU KNOW YOUR PARTY WALL CAN EXTEND MUCH FURTHER THAN YOU THINK?

It’s not always just the wall between two properties…

In this example, the party wall continues:

🏠 From the ground floor
⬆️ Through the first floor
🏠 Up into the roof space
🔥 And even to the chimney

This is why understanding the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 is so important before carrying out structural work, extensions, loft conversions or other building works close to neighbouring properties.

⚠️ Don’t wait until your builder is ready to start.

PLANNING BUILDING WORK? DON’T FORGET THE PARTY WALL ACT!

Getting planning permission is NOT the same as complying with the Party Wall etc. Act 1996.

If you’re planning an extension, loft conversion, structural alterations or excavation close to your neighbour’s property, you may need to serve a Party Wall Notice before work starts.

⚠️ Common situations include:
🏠 Building on or cutting into a party wall
📏 Excavating within 3 or 6 metres of a neighbouring building
🔩 Inserting steel beams into a party wall
🏗️ Carrying out works that affect a party structure

And remember: planning permission does not remove your Party Wall Act obligations.

PLANNING AN EXTENSION? DON’T MAKE THIS MISTAKE…

At AC Design Solution, we help homeowners turn their property ideas into carefully planned projects — from measured surveys and architectural drawings through to planning applications and building regulations.

Planning a loft conversion, rear extension, basement or structural alterations?

Your project could also fall under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996.

🏗️ Plan it properly.
📋 Serve the correct notice.
🤝 Protect your relationship with your neighbours.
📸 Document existing conditions where appropriate.

Don’t wait until the builder is on site.
