Explore the services we offer below:
1. Party Wall Surveying
Our qualified Party Wall Surveyors provide independent, professional advice to ensure that your construction or renovation project complies with the Party Wall Act. We handle the process from start to finish, offering clear guidance on your rights and obligations, and ensuring that all necessary notices are served in accordance with the Act.
2. Party Wall Agreements
We prepare and negotiate Party Wall Agreements to formalize the rights and responsibilities of property owners involved in shared boundary projects. Our experienced surveyors work to ensure that agreements are fair, legally sound, and tailored to your specific project needs.
3. Party Wall Notices
Serving a Party Wall Notice is a legal requirement before starting any work that affects a neighbouring property. We help you draft, serve, and track the notices required under the Party Wall Act. Whether it’s a notice for excavation, building on the boundary, or making alterations to a shared wall, we ensure that your notices are accurate and delivered in a timely manner.
4. Dispute Resolution
In case of disputes between neighbours regarding Party Wall matters, our expert surveyors’ step in as impartial third parties to resolve conflicts. Using our thorough understanding of the Party Wall Act, we help mediate, negotiate, and, if necessary, arbitrate to ensure that both parties reach an amicable and fair resolution.
5. Schedule of Condition
Before construction begins, we carry out detailed condition surveys to assess the existing state of a neighbouring property. This helps identify potential risks to the adjoining property and provides a baseline for resolving any future claims of damage. Our surveys are comprehensive, well-documented, and legally defensible.
6. Party Wall Awards
In some cases, a Party Wall Award may be necessary to resolve any disagreements between neighbours. We draft these legal documents to ensure that the work complies with the Party Wall Act and provides protection to both parties. Our Party Wall Awards cover key aspects of the construction process, including timings, access rights, and responsibilities for repairs or damage.
7. Boundary Disputes
In addition to Party Wall services, we also offer expert advice on resolving boundary disputes. Our surveyors can help clarify property boundaries, review land registry documents, and resolve conflicts between neighbours over land ownership and usage.
8. Pre-Construction Advice
Starting a construction project can be overwhelming, especially when Party Wall matters are involved. Our team provides expert pre-construction advice to ensure you understand your legal obligations and the steps required to avoid costly delays or disputes with neighbours.
9. Project Monitoring
If you’re undertaking a significant building project near a shared boundary, we offer ongoing project monitoring services. Our surveyors can regularly inspect the work to ensure compliance with the Party Wall Award and that the project progresses without impacting neighbouring properties.
10. Post-Construction Advice & Support
Even after the construction is complete, we continue to provide support. We offer post-construction services to ensure that any issues arising from the project—whether related to damage, access, or disputes—are addressed promptly and in compliance with the Party Wall Act etc. 1996.
