Party Walls

Our Party Walls Expertise

The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 enables building owners to carry out out works to and in the vicinity of party walls on notice to adjoining owners, as well as setting out a framework for resolving disputes which may arise in such circumstances.

Tanfield counts amongst its members some of the leading specialists in the rights and obligations under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996.

Members provide practical, insightful expertise on the application and enforcement of the Act, including appeals and other challenges against awards, interim and final injunctions, and enforcement of awards already made.

Tanfeld stands out from other sets not only because of this recognised Party Wall expertise, but for members’ strength across associated Real Property disciplines, including Rights to Light, Construction & Developments, Boundary Disputes and Nuisance.
