About Abutly

Abutly is for homeowners and builders dealing with party wall work under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, such as building on a shared boundary or digging near a neighbour's foundations. It offers free worksheets that work out notice dates from a start date, size the documents a job needs and estimate surveyor hours from the details of your own project, with no account or card required.

What sets it apart is the Pro plan, which keeps the address, its notices, award and schedule of condition together in one record. That makes the paperwork easy to find years later, when a neighbour raises a crack. Pro also lets users remove the Abutly name from printed documents, add their own name and logo, and export their files. It is offered as a free 14-day trial, followed by a monthly subscription that covers the whole project.

The tools are built around the dates and deadlines that often catch people out, such as the two-month notice for party structures and the fourteen-day window after which silence counts as dissent.
