Category: Case Law Series

A dedicated series analysing landmark party wall case law decisions that shape professional practice under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. Each article examines a specific court judgment — the facts, the legal arguments, the outcome, and the practical implications for building owners, adjoining owners, and party wall surveyors in London. Cases are selected for their direct relevance to Victorian terraced house developments, loft conversions, basement excavations, and boundary disputes. Written by Nauman Zafar, Party Wall Consultant at Survey of Party Wall, reviewed against RICS professional standards and Pyramus & Thisbe Club guidelines.
