These answers are general information about the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 and our service. A checker result or generated template is not a definitive legal determination and is not individually reviewed. Check the facts of your project and seek independent advice where the works are complex or disputed.

Notices are digital content delivered immediately on payment, so at checkout you expressly consent to immediate supply and waive your 14-day right to cancel under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. We will still refund in limited cases — see our refund policy. We mitigate this with a free eligibility checker and free chatbot before you commit.

No. The notice-generation system was built by an experienced party wall surveyor — AssocRICS, MFPWS. Those are the individual's qualifications: Konstruction (UK) Ltd provides the software and is not RICS-regulated or a firm of solicitors. Notices are generated from your answers and are not individually reviewed by a surveyor or solicitor. You remain responsible for choosing the correct notice, checking the information and drawings, and serving it correctly. Seek independent advice if your circumstances are uncertain or complex.
PDF and printable HTML — both are included. The PDF is the default deliverable for professional appearance and easy service on your neighbour. The HTML version is editable for last-minute adjustments.
No reply is not consent. For Section 3 and Section 6 notices, no written consent within 14 days gives rise to a deemed dispute, which is resolved through the statutory surveyor process. Section 1 is different: a proposed new wall astride the boundary requires written consent; without it, the wall must be built wholly on your own land, subject to the Act. A reminder does not extend the statutory response period.
No. The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 does not require a surveyor to prepare or serve a notice — you can do it yourself or authorise an agent. Independent advice can still help with complex works. A dispute under the Act requires the Section 10 surveyor process; for Section 3 and Section 6 notices, this includes no written consent within 14 days. Non-response to a Section 1 proposal does not automatically trigger the same process.
The statutory notice period is one month for Section 1 and Section 6 notices, and two months for Section 3 (party structure) notices. This runs from the date the notice is served on your neighbour, not from when your project starts. If your neighbour consents, you can start works once the notice period has run. If they dissent, allow roughly 3–6 weeks more for surveyor appointment and Award preparation.
For Section 3 and Section 6 notices, an express dissent or no written consent within 14 days gives rise to a dispute to be resolved by surveyors under Section 10 before the disputed works proceed. Both owners can agree on one impartial Agreed Surveyor, or appoint separate surveyors. Our directory helps you find a panel surveyor. Section 1 proposals for a new wall astride the boundary need written consent; without it, the wall must be built wholly on your land, subject to the Act, rather than treating silence as automatic deemed dissent.
A party wall notice is the formal written notice served on your neighbour at the start of the process. A party wall agreement — more formally a Party Wall Award — is the legal document drawn up by surveyors if your neighbour dissents. Many homeowners use the terms interchangeably, but technically they are different stages of the same process.
Only if your neighbour has explicitly agreed to accept service electronically. The Act's default method is physical delivery — either in person or by post. We recommend recorded-delivery post for Section 3 and Section 6 notices to create a clear paper trail.
