Free Party Wall Notices
Party Wall Notices aren’t always served by Party Wall Surveyors and from a legal standpoint, don’t need to be.
With this in mind, many building owners like to serve their own Party Wall Notices, as they not only benefit from cost savings, but in many cases are able to take a much more neighbourly approach to the Party Wall Notice’s service.

Simply follow the steps below and you will be able to prepare a Party Wall Notice ready for service upon your neighbour.
When to use a Party Wall Notice?
It’s important to bear in mind that a Party Wall Notice is a legal document. The Notice’s service formally commences the Party Wall ect Act 1996 upon the adjoining owner.
With any legal document, a well-considered approach is advised. Serving your own Party Wall Notice should be reserved for those scenarios where neighbourly relations are strong and the adjoining owner is well aware of the planned works and understands the Party Wall Surveying procedures.
If these characteristics aren’t in place, it’s best to have a Party Wall Surveyor prepare and serve the Party Wall Notice.
How to Serve Party Wall Notice
To ensure your Party Wall Notice is valid, it will need to be served in one of the following ways:
By Hand
Serving the Party Wall Notice by hand is the preferable option. It ensures you’re able to add an all important neighbourly approach.
By Post
Serving the Party Wall Notice by post is the most common form of service. Be sure to obtain proof of postage as you’ll likely need this in the event of non response by the adjoining owner.
By Email
Serving the Party Wall Notice by email is one of the more modern forms of service. Be mindful that the adjoining owner will need to have confirmed they’re happy with Notice service by email for it to be deemed served.
