Frequently Asked Questions

Is a party wall agreement legally required in Ireland?

There is no standalone Party Wall Act in Ireland (unlike England and Wales). However, a party wall agreement is strongly advisable before any building work affecting a shared wall or boundary to avoid future disputes and potential liability.

What happens if my neighbour refuses to sign a party wall agreement?

If a neighbour refuses to cooperate, you may need to seek a court order or consider whether the works can be modified. Our solicitors can advise on your options.

Who pays for the party wall agreement?

Typically the owner carrying out the works pays the legal costs for the agreement. Where a neighbour appoints their own surveyor, those costs may also fall on the building owner.
