The Party Wall Act 1996 sets out how to avoid and resolve disputes between neighbours when building works affect shared walls, boundary walls or nearby excavations.
It applies to properties throughout Hammersmith and West London, where many homes share common boundaries and walls.

Examples of works that require notice include:

• Building a new wall along or on a boundary

• Cutting into or removing part of a party wall

• Excavating for basements or foundations within three or six metres of a neighbour’s structure

• Underpinning or altering load-bearing walls

If you’re planning works near Hammersmith Bridge, Ravenscourt Park, or the Goldhawk Road area, our experts can confirm whether your project requires formal notice and guide you through the process.
