What Does A Party Wall Refer To?

A ‘party wall’ refers to the shared property boundary that you have with a neighbour or multiple neighbours. A party wall will stand on the land of two or more owners, and they will either form part of a building or won’t form a part of a building but can be something such as a garden wall. Wooden fences, for example, are not included. However it can also include excavations for footings within a particular distance of neighbouring properties.
