It is particularly important to have old walls of unknown quality bricks watched by a party wall surveyor.

making a rear extension
If you have a narrow back garden - all terraces and terraced houses in London will, for example - you might be willing to extend full width. In this case, your new external walls become common walls, or rather extensions to existing walls of your home party, you'll need a Party Wall Award .
To construct the walls, you will also need to have new foundations that are at least 1m depth for extensions on one level, and dig down (party wall) near existing foundations requires price, too.

Building up
Take a look at the window on the top of that house. On the left side, the construction of the new wall would have meant the existing party wall had to be extended upwards, so it should have a Party Wall Award .
In addition, if you make the space habitable loft, you will definitely need new steel support on the ground, and these are inserted into the holes on each side of a dividing wall.

Renovating apartments
If you live in an apartment, your ceiling is also a common wall. Your lease probably exclude one (brick) exterior skin of your home, as well as the structure of your floor and / or ceiling. Any changes to these will not only need a Party Wall Award but, most likely, the authorization of your landlord.

ceiling joists Replacement
Imagine that these beautiful decorative beams in this country house are wood joists usually hidden in your ceiling. If any of them were to be replaced, and new beams could go in their place, you would not need a Party Wall Award .
If, however, you need to install a new joist or a steel beam, and it took a hole on each side of the wall to adapt it would need a price.

Your expert would be able to indicate whether, in digging the foundations of a new extension of this kind, you are far enough away from the fence to get away with not require any additional paperwork.

lower your back garden
Bear with me on this ... Imagine you are able to dig down your existing ground floor, perhaps only in the back of the house, to create a new floor kitchen-dining room below ground. You would then have, as in this image, as to step into the garden and see the new (lower).
This will probably mean that you need to remove a substantial amount of ground in the back, and maybe add a new foundation to your shared fences. This will - you guessed it - need Wall Price Party

neighboring apartments Joining
This image shows two seals rooms spread over two houses in the partially removed joining wall. If you own the whole two adjacent properties, you will not need a party wall agreement with yourself, of course!
If, however, you have just bought apartments on the same level in two adjacent properties, and want to remove the wall between the two, you would need a Party Wall Award with the landowner - even if you own a share of freehold.
