Conveyancing: Encroachment Agreements and Party Wall Agreements: What are encroachment agreements and party wall agreements? To prepare encroachment agreements or party wall agreements, what information is needed? Condominium Projects: Arbitration and Expert Witness: Billing and Other Matters:

Encroachment agreements and party wall agreements are types of agreements between neighbors. These are usually created in response to a land survey indicating that a wall or other improvement crosses the boundary line between two properties. An Encroachment Agreement is used when the parties determine that the wall or other improvement is owned by one neighbor and it encroaches onto the property of the other neighbor. A Party Wall Agreement is used when the parties agree that the wall or other improvement located on the boundary is owned by both of the neighbors, and they wish to have an agreement as to joint ownership and duties of repair and maintenance. These agreements typically (but not necessarily) are intended to continue forever and run with the land.
