Party Wall Notice Checker

Understand what may apply before you start.

Describe your proposed building works in plain English and get an immediate, automated indication of which notices under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 may be relevant — line of junction, party structure, or adjacent excavation.

Please note: This indication is generated by a custom-trained automated model without human review and may contain errors. It does not constitute professional advice — you should obtain independent verification from a qualified Party Wall Surveyor before making any project decisions, serving statutory notices, or commencing building works. Metris does not accept instructions for basement or deep-excavation projects.

How it works

Tell the checker what you're planning — a new wall on the boundary, cutting into a shared wall for a steel beam, or excavating near a neighbouring structure — and it will indicate which sections of the Act are likely to be relevant.
