NO PARTY WALL NOTICE | What Happens When a Building Owner Doesn't Serve a Party Wall Notice?

In this Party Wall Surveying Video, we discuss the scenario and situation that can come into play when a building owner doesn’t serve a Party Wall Notice upon the adjoining owner.
We will be looking at the options that the adjoining owner has to them both under the Party Wall etc Act 1996 and under common law.
Party Wall Procedures are designed and in place to ensure that adjoining owners are given the full protection of the law and afforded reasonable opportunity to Consent or Dissent to the Party Wall Notice.
In the event of a Dissent, they will be given the opportunity to appoint a Party Wall Surveyor to best advise them and ultimately ensure the Party Wall Protections and Party Wall Procedures are administered with the agreement of Party Wall Award being put in place.
Our advice here at Stokemont, is that if you’re unlucky enough to find yourself in this situation, we’d advise taking professional advice without delay.
Whether that is from ourselves or another firm of RICS Chartered Surveyors and Party Wall Surveyors.
Building Owner (the person undertaking the construction works)
Adjoining Owner (the person adjoining the construction works)
The Party Wall etc Act 1996 (the Act governing a multitude of construction works)
Party Wall Award (commonly referred to as a Party Wall Agreement)

Staggering how the ability not to follow the process by the building owner makes his innocent victim the financially penalised guilty party.
What moron came up with that idea!
