Boundary questions and party wall matters often arrive together, when someone's building near, on or up to the line between two properties. We help Worthing homeowners understand where they stand and resolve issues before they turn into expensive, drawn-out disputes.
Where party walls and boundaries meet
The Party Wall etc. Act deals with shared walls and building near the boundary, but not with ownership of the boundary line itself, which is a separate legal question. In practice the two overlap constantly: a new wall built up to the line, a fence replaced with a wall, or an extension right on the boundary all raise both. We explain which issue is which, so you don't spend money on the wrong process.
Our approach
We start with what the deeds, plans and physical evidence actually show, give you a straight assessment of the position, and aim to resolve things practically, most boundary issues are far better settled by agreement than by litigation, which is slow and costly for both sides. Where a matter is genuinely a legal boundary dispute rather than a party wall one, we'll tell you plainly and point you to the right specialist rather than bill you for the wrong service.
