If you’re planning construction work that affects a shared or boundary wall, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 may require you to appoint a Party Wall Surveyor. Understanding the potential costs—and what influences them—can help you budget more effectively.
Typical Costs for a Party Wall Surveyor
Fees vary depending on the scope of the work, the property location, and the complexity of the project. As a guide:
- Average Range: £700–£1,500 for a standard party wall agreement.
- Higher Costs: Projects involving multiple neighbouring properties, intricate designs, or structural complexities can increase fees.
- Our Fees: £300! They’re the cheapest in the industry.
Main Factors Affecting the Price
- Number of Surveyors – If you and your neighbour agree to use a single “agreed surveyor,” fees are generally lower. If each party appoints their own surveyor, costs can double.
- Project Complexity – More complex works, such as large extensions or basement excavations, often require more in-depth assessment and documentation.
- Location – Fees are typically higher in major cities, particularly London and surrounding areas.
