Whether you’re planning a home extension, loft conversion, basement excavation, or any construction work near a boundary, you must comply with the Party Wall etc. Act 1996.
At Simple Survey, our experienced Party Wall Surveyors provide clear, impartial guidance to ensure your project runs smoothly, complies with the law, and maintains good relationships with your neighbours.
How We Help
We work with homeowners, developers, architects, and contractors, offering a complete range of services:
- Preparing and serving valid Party Wall Notices
- Negotiating Party Wall Agreements (Awards)
- Resolving disputes quickly and fairly
With experience in design and construction, we understand the complexities of party wall regulations and how to manage them efficiently—helping you avoid costly disputes, project delays, or legal action.
Why the Party Wall Act Matters
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 is designed to protect both property owners by:
- Allowing building owners to carry out works legally and safely
- Protecting adjoining owners from potential damage or inconvenience
- Ensuring repairs or compensation are made if damage occurs
- Resolving disputes without the need for expensive court proceedings
Whether in a terraced, semi-detached, or detached property, the Act applies whenever building work affects a shared wall, boundary, or when excavations fall within 3–6 metres of a neighbouring structure.
Why Engage a Party Wall Surveyor?
- Managing Change – Building works can be unsettling for neighbours; we help reduce stress with clear communication and fair agreements.
- Building Confidence – We ensure all parties understand the safest and most practical way forward so the project can proceed without delays.
- Protecting Property – If damage occurs, the Act guarantees it is rectified at the building owner’s expense, giving neighbours peace of mind.
