We highly recommend to always speak to your neighbour or neighbours before you even begin to serve a Party Wall Notice. Don’t feel shy or embarrassed and don’t feel like your building works will be an inconvenience, because anyone is entitled to carry out works to their property.
We always advise to approach your neighbour or neighbours in the best possible and politest manner and inform them of your proposed future building works. By doing so, most neighbours will feel appreciative of that fact that you have informed them of your proposed Building works but are also grateful at the fact that you shall be following the correct Party Wall procedure.
