If you’re planning an extension, loft conversion or excavation, you need the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 on your side—without wrecking your budget. That’s exactly what we do. Simple Survey delivers robust, legally compliant party wall work at sensible, fixed fees, with clear timelines and zero fluff.
Our headline prices are simple and upfront
- Party Wall Notice service: £25 per adjoining ownership (multi-notice bundles discounted)
- Act administration as Agreed Surveyor (single surveyor): typically £300 fixed-fee (depends on complexity and number of notices/owners)
- Two-surveyor route (we act for the Building Owner): fixed-fee proposals from £325 on our side (we work to keep your neighbour’s surveyor’s hourly fees reasonable and contained)
No set-up charges. No surprises.
Why we’re more cost-effective
1) Paperwork that prevents problems
Most overspend comes from invalid notices and bloated awards. We draft notices correctly the first time (including excavation plans where Section 6 applies) and keep awards tightly focused on the notifiable works—nothing more. Fewer re-serves. Fewer delays. Fewer fees.
2) Fixed fees for defined outcomes
We price the deliverable—valid notices, a compliant award, and a smooth process—rather than charging open-ended hourly rates for routine tasks. That’s how we keep your exposure predictable.
3) Momentum saves money
Stalled projects cost. We maintain cadence: quick neighbour contact, swift document turnaround, pragmatic coordination with other surveyors. Momentum reduces risk of injunction threats, programme drift and contractor variation claims.
4) Firm cost-control on two-surveyor jobs
If your neighbour appoints their own surveyor, we agree proportionate scopes, stop unnecessary duplication and keep everything inside the Act’s remit. Result: compliant outcomes without fee inflation.
5) Straight answers on variations
Design changes happen. We’ll tell you—fast—if it needs a fresh notice or a supplemental award, and only do what the Act requires. Compliance, not gold-plating.
Compliance that protects you (and your budget)
- Correct notices reduce the risk of injunctions and last-minute stoppages.
- Properly framed awards minimise disputes during works and after.
- Clear neighbour comms often head off dissent (and duplicate surveyor costs).
- Tight scopes keep everyone focused on what the Act actually governs.
Designed for homeowners, builders and designers
We collaborate smoothly with architects and contractors, map notice strategies early, and coordinate timelines so your programme isn’t derailed by paperwork. You’ll always know what’s next, who’s doing it, and what it costs.
