Party Wall Notice Generator
Generate a legally-worded party wall notice under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. Sections 3, 4 and 6. Instant download after payment.
If you are planning building work that affects a shared wall, boundary, or excavation near a neighbouring property, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 requires you to serve formal notice. This is not optional — failure to notify can result in injunctions, delays, and personal liability for damage.
The Act covers three distinct types of work. Section 4 deals with works directly to the party wall itself, such as cutting in, raising, or underpinning. Section 3 covers the construction of new walls at a boundary line. Section 6 applies when you excavate within defined distances of an adjoining owner's foundations.
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) estimates that around 150,000 party wall notices are served each year in England and Wales (RICS Guidance). Instructing a surveyor typically costs between £1,000 and £2,000 per neighbour, making a correctly worded notice an essential first step.
