Why party walls matter!
The Party Wall etc. Act (1996) is a piece of legislation designed to protect both parties when a wall forms the boundary between two properties. If you need to carry out work on a party wall, it's vital that you make sure you are in compliance with the Act, and the team here at RKJ Property Consultants Ltd can help.
