Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a party wall surveyor?
In the United Kingdom, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 mandates that property owners must follow specific procedures when carrying out building work that may affect a shared wall or boundary with a neighboring property. We can help you through this process more smoothly and ensure that all legal requirements are met.
What is a party wall agreement?
If an adjoining owner dissents to the proposed work, a party wall surveyor will draft a Party Wall Agreement called an ‘Award’. This legal document outlines the specific work to be carried out, the rights and responsibilities of each party, and any agreed-upon measures to mitigate potential issues.
How can I resolve a dispute with my neighbour?
Disputes can arise when adjoining owners are concerned about the potential impact of the proposed construction work on their property. A party wall surveyor can help mediate and resolve such disputes, ensuring a fair and legally compliant outcome.
How does billing work?
We have a simple billing system which allows you to pay for services as required. The building owner pays costs and typically the adjoining owner pays no charge.
Is it a legal requirement for me to engage with a party wall surveyor?
Not always. It is not a legal requirement to engage a party wall surveyor when building at a boundary. However, it is a legal requirement to follow the procedures outlined in the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 if the proposed construction work falls within the scope of the act. In cases where disputes do arise then you will need to appoint a surveyor.
