The Party Wall Act was introduced in 1996 to ensure that when building works are carried out, they do not damage an adjoining owner’s property. If you are planning any building works in Teignmouth, it is essential to consider whether they will trigger the Party Wall Act. In this location page, we will discuss how Party Wall Solutions can help you navigate the complexities of the Party Wall Act and ensure that your building works are legally compliant.
What is the Party Wall Act?
The Party Wall Act is a law that applies throughout the UK, including Teignmouth. The Act covers three types of work:
The aim of the Party Wall Act is to ensure that building works do not adversely affect an adjoining owner’s property. Therefore, if your proposed building works will affect any of your neighbour’s walls or structures, you must consider the Party Wall Act.
Party Wall Solutions is a company of experienced and qualified party wall surveyors based in Teignmouth. We can provide all the advice and assistance you need to ensure you comply with the Party Wall Act when undertaking construction works.

One of the essential services we offer is pre-construction advice. If you are planning any building works that may affect your neighbour’s property, we can help you determine whether the Party Wall Act applies and ensure that you comply with the requirements of the Act.
If your building works require Party Wall notices to be served, we will prepare and serve them on your behalf to ensure you are legally compliant. We will then liaise with your neighbour to ensure that they are satisfied that their property will not be adversely affected by your building works.
Preparation & Agreement of Party Wall Award
