I have read lots of forums and gone through the booklet of Party wall Act.Though I do not want to be a law breaker, couple of things needs clarification.Would really appreciate if someone could explain in simple english.
1.If I start my brick wall 1/2 inches inside the boundary line(half of party wall),am I correct in saying that I do not need to serve a party wall notice.The foundation will be within 3 metres of neighbour, but not lower than his. I am only going 600mm deep as the wall will be only holding patio doors.
2.What is the difference between astride or on the boundary?
3.If I serve section 1 notice,it says on the booklet that "if neighbour does not respond within 14 days then one has to build the wall entirely on their land".
Does this mean that section 1 notices does not need party wall surveyor if neighbour does not respond.
Oh btw I do not have a dispute with my neighbour.I just want to avoid the expense, if I do not have to incur it.Do not want to serve the notice, and find that I did not need to.
Sorry to upset anyone but I do not trust PW surveyors due to bad reviews..Just read "PARTY WALL SHOULD BE REWRITTEN"
Thank you for your help..
