Services
Party Wall Notices
We prepare and serve legally compliant Party Wall Notices for property owners. Our process ensures all required details are included, minimising delays and reducing the risk of invalid notices. Clients receive guidance on neighbour responses and next steps.
Party Wall Awards
We create binding Party Wall Awards when neighbours dissent. Our awards include detailed schedules of condition and protective measures, ensuring works proceed lawfully while protecting both parties' interests through independent surveyor oversight.
Condition Surveys
We conduct thorough pre- and post-construction condition surveys. These photographic and written records document property status to identify any damage caused by adjacent works, providing clear evidence for resolution.
Loft Extensions
We advise on Party Wall compliance for loft conversions, including structural considerations and neighbour protections. Our services cover access requirements, protective boarding, and method statements to ensure safe, lawful construction.
Basement Excavations
We provide specialist guidance for basement projects under the Party Wall Act. Our services include structural engineer coordination, excavation sequencing, and protective measures to safeguard adjacent properties during complex groundworks.
Questions
What does the Party Wall Act cover?
The Act governs construction works affecting shared walls, boundary walls, and excavations near neighbouring properties. It requires proper notice and dispute resolution procedures.
How much do Party Wall services cost?
Costs depend on neighbour responses. We offer fixed fees for Notices and Awards, but additional surveyor or engineering fees may apply if disputes arise.
Can I serve my own Party Wall Notice?
Yes, but we recommend professional preparation to avoid errors that cause delays. Our fixed fee includes Land Registry searches and proper documentation.
What happens if my neighbour dissents?
A Party Wall Award will be required. We'll inspect both properties, document conditions, and create a legally binding agreement outlining work parameters and protections.
Do I need a surveyor for a detached property?
Yes, if building boundary walls or excavations within 3-6m of boundaries. We provide free advice to determine if Party Wall compliance applies to your project.
