What is a boundary wall?

A boundary wall is a border that is built on the physical boundary between two properties. The boundary wall separates Durban properties and creates privacy for the residents of the house.

Who is responsible for the boundary wall?

The boundary wall is built on the owner of the property’s land therefore the boundary wall will be owned by them. If the boundary wall is on your property and you own that land, no alterations can be made to the border unless approval was given by you. However, if the boundary wall is built and owned on your neighbour's property, then you can’t make alterations unless your neighbour provides approval for it.

How close can a neighbour build anything near my boundary wall?

Your neighbour is usually allowed to build at the following distances from our wall: -9m in the front -1.5m at the sides -4.5m at the back of the boundary wall. However, this may vary according to your municipality’s jurisdiction. You can check the requirements of how close structures can be erected near your wall with your local Durban building department.

What is a party wall agreement?

A party wall agreement means that property owners will have equal rights and ownership when they build a boundary wall. This means that both parties can perform renovations or add-ons to the wall legally without approval from one another.

How do I find my boundary wall line?

You can find out if the boundary wall belongs to you by inspecting the title deeds of your Durban property. However, sometimes it doesn’t stipulate in the title deeds whether the boundary wall belongs to you or the neighbour. If there is no way of finding out who the wall belongs to, search through Snupit to find a land surveyor to re-determine the boundary line.
