The Joint Party Wall Agreement is essential when undertaking construction work that affects shared walls, boundaries, or structures between properties in England and Wales. It is required under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 when carrying out works such as building against a shared wall, cutting into a party wall, or excavating near neighboring properties. This agreement helps prevent disputes by clearly defining the scope of works, responsibilities, and rights of all parties involved, while ensuring compliance with relevant building regulations and planning requirements. It typically includes detailed plans, schedules of condition, and specific arrangements for access and timing of works.
