For homeowners buying or selling a property with a shared wall or roof—such as in a duplex, townhome, or other attached dwelling—there may be legal responsibilities that extend beyond the boundaries of the individual unit. Properties that share structural features, commonly referred to as Party Walls, often require owners to coordinate on issues like maintenance, repair, and access. These responsibilities should be clearly defined and addressed in a Party Wall Agreement.

Understanding the legal obligations and responsibilities created by a Party Wall Agreement is essential to ensuring your transaction is completed smoothy, you protect your investment and minimize future conflicts.
