Questions
What is the Party Wall Act 1996?
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 provides legal obligations for building works affecting shared walls, boundaries, and excavations. It protects both building owners and adjoining properties through formal notices and agreements.
Do I need a Party Wall Agreement?
You need an agreement if your project involves structural changes to shared walls, new boundary walls, or excavations near neighbouring properties. Our surveyors can confirm if your project falls under the Act.
How much does a Party Wall Notice cost?
Costs vary based on project complexity and number of adjoining properties. Contact us for a tailored quote, as we provide competitive pricing for notice preparation and service.
What happens if I receive a Party Wall Notice?
You can either consent, dissent, or appoint an Adjoining Owner's Surveyor. We recommend professional representation to protect your property interests and ensure fair award terms.
How quickly can you prepare a Party Wall Award?
We typically complete awards within a week of property inspections. Urgent cases are prioritised to prevent project delays while maintaining legal compliance and neighbourly relations.
Which areas do you cover?
We operate across Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire, and London, providing local expertise with nationwide compliance standards for residential, commercial, and industrial party wall matters.
