The adjoining owner has the option to consent or dissent to the works
A party wall notice formally notifies owners of adjoining properties of what notifiable works a building owner is proposing to undertake. The adjoining owner has the option to consent or dissent to the works.
It is important to note that if an adjoining owner dissents, this does not mean the proposed works cannot proceed.
Should an adjoining owner dissent, it means a dispute has arisen within the meaning of the Act and an Award is required to resolve the dispute. Once the Award is signed and served upon the owners, notifiable works can commence.
For a notice to be valid, it must contain certain information.
It is crucial that the notice encompasses all the necessary details set out in the Act. The service of a party wall notice formally invokes the Act.
