Retrospective Party Wall Agreement
Serving party wall notices prior to the commencement of works is critical to ensuring compliance with the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. If notifiable works have begun before the notices are served, a party wall award may still be used to resolve any disputes that have arisen. In such cases, a schedule of condition can remain relevant, provided that no damage has yet occurred. The award serves to protect both the building owner and the adjoining property owner from potential disputes and regularises the works in accordance with the Act.
Understanding Retrospective Party Wall Agreements
The Importance of Retrospective Agreements
- Legal Compliance: Ensures that all works, even post-completion, comply with the legalities set by the Party Wall etc. Act 1996.
- Protection Against Disputes: Minimises the potential for disputes by providing a clear framework and documentation of the works carried out.
- Maintaining Good Neighbourly Relations: Helps sustain good relationships between neighbours by addressing any oversights fairly and legally.
How to Arrange a Retrospective Party Wall Agreement
Arranging a retrospective agreement involves several key steps:
- Consultation with a qualified party wall surveyor to assess the scope of the work and its impact.
- Notification and negotiation with adjoining property owners to reach a mutual agreement.
- Preparation of a written agreement including details of the work carried out and measures to rectify any damage.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Clayton from Ayling Associates for a home survey on a property I am purchasing in London. From start to finish, Clayton was incredibly thorough, professional, and personable. The level of detail in the survey report was outstanding, covering every aspect of the property with clear, concise explanations. Clayton identified key areas of concern and provided practical, actionable recommendations that have been invaluable as I move forward with the purchase. His expertise, particularly in assessing structural concerns, gave me the confidence I needed to make an informed decision. Clayton was always available to discuss the findings and answer any questions I had, going above and beyond to ensure I fully understood every detail. His communication was excellent throughout the process, making what could have been a stressful experience much smoother and more manageable. I highly recommend Clayton and Ayling Associates to anyone in need of a reliable and knowledgeable surveyor. Their commitment to client satisfaction and their deep understanding of property issues truly set them apart. Thank you, Clayton, for your exceptional service!
