Yes, you can, BUT the notice that you have prepared or are going to prepare will most likely not be deemed correct and thus null and void. This in turn prolongs matters. By prolonging the party wall notice you in turn prolong your proposed start date for your project.
So, either make sure that the notice you are preparing is correct or get a professional to prepare and serve the notice for you.
I have come across my fair share of incorrect party wall notices. And the most commons mistakes we come across are listed below:
- Incorrect names
- Incorrect addresses
- Incorrect names and addresses
- No date
Even if the party wall notice you prepare and serve is correct your neighbour will still have the option of selecting an Agreed surveyor or their own surveyor. Hence why it saves time by using a qualified Party Wall Surveyor.
