About us

This website is run by South East Party Walls. You can contact us at ivan@southeastpartywalls.co.uk or by post at Newhaven Road, Selhurst, London SE25 6JQ.

Information, not advice

The pages, guides and the notice checker explain the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 in general terms. They are not legal or professional advice about your situation, and they do not create a contract or appoint us as your surveyor. We are only appointed when you instruct us in writing.

Accuracy

We keep the content up to date and correct, but we cannot promise that every page is complete or current at all times. Please check anything important with us before relying on it.

Where we link to other websites, we do so for your convenience. We are not responsible for their content.

The text, drawings and design of this website belong to us. You may print or share pages for your own use, but not copy them onto another website.

Our liability

We are not liable for any loss arising from use of this website's general information. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

Law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction.
