FAQs

Timescales in Hammersmith & Fulham depend on notice periods and neighbour responses. Starting early is the best way to protect your build start date.
What happens if my neighbour ignores a party wall notice in Hammersmith & Fulham?

Is a Schedule of Condition useful for Hammersmith & Fulham projects?
Yes. In Hammersmith & Fulham, a dated photo and written record before work starts helps resolve damage questions fairly—especially on tight boundaries.
Is the Act only about party walls?
No. It can also apply to boundary walls and excavations near neighbouring foundations.
