The process for dealing with party walls regarding building and construction works, especially any conversions or extensions to your home, can be intricate. However, if party wall notices are taken into account from the outset of a project, and you are sure to employ surveyors to undertake the requisite surveys as early as possible then it can be much easier to get a Party Wall Agreement.
You must seek a Party Wall Agreement if your proposed work consists of either building on or at the boundary line between two properties, or on a current party wall or structure, or if your project calls for digging below and near to the present foundation line of the neighbouring property. In all of these examples, you must submit a Party Wall Notice to the owner of the neighbouring property. This includes all owners of the property, so if the neighbouring property is a leasehold or home with multiple occupancy you might need to serve this notice to a number of people. Your Party Wall Notice needs to include information regarding yourself and your property as well as the specifics of the scope and nature of the planned work.

Oakham is a historic English market town in Rutland in the East Midlands of England. It is situated to the west of Rutland Water, which is one of the most vast man-made lakes in Europe. It is home to All Saints’ Church, built in the 14th Century, and Oakham Castle, which was built in the 12th Century. Only the great hall of the castle is still there, and it is a popular tourist attraction in the town.
Every Wednesday and Saturday in Oakham there is a market where many local goods are on sale. Every third Saturday there is a farmer’s market on Gaol Street, where local farmers sell their products.
An interesting landmark in Oakham is the Oakham Signal Box, which Airfix used as a mould for all their model rail kits. Another tradition that the town has is displaying horseshoes in the great hall of the castle. Every time a member of royalty or peer of the realm visited Oakham, they had to pay a charge in the form of a horseshoe. The horseshoes hang upside-down which is widely seen to be unlucky, but in Oakham this was to stop the Devil from sitting in the hollow.
