Editor's Notes
- #13 OK I’m just going to give you a few tips here on stuff that causes problems for people all the time.Party Wall Liability! This has nothing to do with a good house party, Its all to do with a useful but sometimes onerous piece of legislation called the Party Wall Act.Now Party Wall doesn't just mean the wall between two adjoining or semi detached properties. If you are likely to be within 3 meters of a party wall or at 6m distance may still undermine you neighbours foundations or be placing beams in the party wall, then Party Wall Act will apply.Nice bit of underpinning of the neighbour here – shame about this bit though Fingers crossed it all stays put eh?Be aware that some Site Insurance policies exclude this completely making you purchase an additional insurance policy called JCT 21.2.1. instead. Self-Build Zone include your contractual liability under the Party Wall Act if you inform them. Which can save you hundereds in additional premiums!Lots of information is available at the communities and local government website in a clear to read downloadable booklet.
