Frequently Asked Questions
What is a party wall notice and when is it required?
A party wall notice is a formal document that informs neighbours about proposed building work affecting shared walls or boundaries. It is required by law before starting certain types of construction or alterations to ensure all parties are aware and can agree on how the work proceeds. We at TOCA guide you through when and how to serve these notices effectively.
How long before work should a party wall notice be served?
Typically, party wall notices must be served at least two months before the planned work begins. This period allows neighbours to respond, raise concerns, or arrange for a surveyor if necessary. TOCA helps manage these timelines carefully to keep your project on track throughout North London.
What happens if a neighbour disputes the party wall notice?
If a neighbour objects to the notice, the dispute is usually resolved by appointing surveyors to agree on how the work should proceed safely and fairly. TOCA can assist in coordinating this process, ensuring that all parties’ interests are considered while minimising delays to your project.
