Services
Party Wall Surveying
Our party wall surveying service ensures legal compliance with the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. We prepare notices, manage neighbour responses, and draft binding awards for extensions, loft conversions, and new builds. Our surveyors operate across London and the Home Counties, providing impartial advice to prevent disputes and project delays. Clients benefit from fixed fees, fast turnaround times, and 7-year photographic evidence storage for added security.
Schedule of Condition
We create detailed schedules of condition documenting property status before construction begins. These reports include photographic and written records to protect against damage claims during or after works. Our 48-hour turnaround ensures projects proceed without delay while providing legally robust documentation. This service is recommended even for consensual projects to safeguard both building and adjoining owners.
Party Wall Awards
Our legally binding party wall awards define permitted works, access rights, and protection measures. We negotiate terms between building owners and adjoining parties, ensuring compliance with statutory requirements. Awards include responsibility allocations for surveyor fees and damage resolution procedures. This service provides clear frameworks for construction projects while minimising legal risks for all involved parties.
Service of Notice
We prepare and serve statutory party wall notices on adjoining owners, ensuring legal validity under the 1996 Act. Our fixed-fee service includes Land Registry searches, ownership verification, and proof of service documentation. Clients receive guidance on neighbour response scenarios, with follow-up procedures for consents, dissents, or non-responses to maintain project timelines.
Loft Conversion Surveys
Specialist surveying for loft conversions ensures compliance with party wall regulations. We assess structural implications, prepare necessary notices, and negotiate awards for shared walls and boundary works. Our London-focused team handles complex urban conversions, providing clear timelines and cost estimates through our online quote tool and expert consultations.
Questions
When should I start the Party Wall process?
Begin as soon as you have planning drawings. The process typically takes 6-8 weeks depending on neighbour responses.
Who pays surveyor fees?
The building owner undertaking works usually covers all reasonable surveyor costs.
Do I need a Party Wall Award?
Not always. If all neighbours consent, no award is required but a Schedule of Condition is strongly recommended.
How are fees calculated?
Costs depend on adjoining owners, work type, and whether neighbours consent or dissent. Our online tool provides instant estimates.
What areas do you cover?
We operate across all London boroughs plus Hertfordshire, Essex, Kent, and Surrey.
What happens if neighbours don't respond?
After 14 days, non-response is treated as dissent. We'll appoint a surveyor on their behalf under Section 10(4)(b).

Tony was friendly and was prompt in serving notices, but since then has been fairly unresponsive, hard to get hold of, and has not resolved outstanding queries. We were hoping for a more efficient, communicative process.

Tony was recommended to us by our neighbours who had used his services previously. We were working to a tight timescale and Tony worked flexibly to accommodate our needs, getting the awards issued within 2 days of visiting for the survey. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend.
