Part Wall Award (Boundary Dispute)

This case study involves a semi-detached bungalow situated in a residential area, sharing a party wall with the neighbouring property. The adjoining property had been altered with a loft conversion and a 6-meter single-storey rear extension. During these works, the neighbour encroached onto the subject property by approximately 80 mm at roof level and 200 mm at ground level. We were appointed to provide expert advice and support to the building owner, assessing the extent of encroachment and its implications.

Our involvement included reviewing plans, inspecting the site, and advising on legal and practical options. Our guidance helped the client understand their rights and supported them in addressing the encroachment through appropriate legal and negotiation channels.
