Planning a loft, rear extension, basement, chimney removal, or internal steelwork? You want the party wall side handled quickly, correctly, and without surprise costs. That’s exactly what we do.
Why homeowners and developers choose Simple Survey
1) We’ve done it all—calmly and competently
Basements, loft conversions, rear/side extensions, internal structural alterations, chimney breast removals, new builds, and complex multi-neighbour schemes. Large or small, straightforward or intricate—we’ve seen the edge cases and we manage them without drama.
2) We’re qualified (properly)
Every project is overseen by RICS-accredited surveyors. That means regulated practice, insured advice, and standards you can rely on.
3) We’re Building Surveyors first
We’re not “paper-only” party wall technicians. Our building pathology experience means we understand how structures behave in the real world—so our advice (and Awards) are practical, proportionate, and construction-ready.
4) We’re affordable—by design
You get senior expertise and sharp process efficiency at a fraction of the typical cost. No gold-plating, no bloat—just what’s required by the Act, done right.
5) We use fixed fees
You’ll know your costs upfront. No hourly clock, no creeping extras, no surprises.
What we handle for you
- Valid Party Wall Notices drafted and served correctly (Section 15 compliance)
- Neighbour engagement and response management (consent, dissent, counter-notice)
- Agreed Surveyor or Two-Surveyor route administration
- Clear, enforceable Party Wall Awards that keep your programme moving
- Multi-neighbour sequencing to minimise third-party surveyor involvement (and cost)
- Sensible site protocols that reduce risk and friction
Simple, transparent pricing
- 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 for our side (we work to keep your neighbour’s surveyor’s hourly fees reasonable and contained)
What “stress-free” looks like in practice
- No guesswork: We review your drawings, confirm what’s notifiable, and map the quickest legal route to start on site.
- No delays for paperwork errors: Notices and service done right the first time, with proof.
- No friction with neighbours: We explain the process clearly, defuse concerns, and encourage the most time-efficient route (often Agreed Surveyor).
- No runaway fees: Fixed quotes. Proportionate Awards. Tight scope control.
