Joint work with neighbour-- need party wall notice?

Hello
Both our neighbours and is have decided to carry out a repair job on a shared column which is exactly on the dividing line so it's part of the Party wall. We will split costs etc
Do we still need to issue a party wall notice?

No point.
It's only valid for the build period, it's not something that you pull out for selling. If you're doing it together, you're clearly agreed.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

I agree with the both - you are both consenting to the work, and section 3(3)(a) of the Act specifically states that you do not need to serve a notice if you have written consent.
Good luck.0 -
A party wall notice is only the usual way of initiating a process that results in a written party wall agreement.
You're relying on an oral contract with your neighbour instead. Even if you don't write up a formal agreement, it's a good idea to write down and (if possible) both sign a detailed note of your agreed intentions, who's paying for what etc though - in case of later disputes.0
