What party wall records should sellers prepare?

When this applies

The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 covers work to shared walls, boundary lines, and excavations near neighbouring foundations. Buyers want to know work was lawfully agreed.

Keep together

The award itself: signed by surveyors where appointed.

Schedules of condition: photographs and notes taken before work.

Response notices: if neighbours consented to simpler agreements.

Correspondence: clarifying access and making good.

Upload the pack under Documents so your buyer's conveyancer can match the physical works.
