The Party Wall Award is a legal binding document and it is illegal to develop without one. You can be stopped in a court of law.
In line with the Party Wall legislation we can check liabilities and ensure the proposed development complies with the Party Wall etc Act 1996.
We act as Party Wall Surveyors for both ‘Building Owners’ developing and ‘Neighbours’ affected by works. The purpose of the Act is to avoid grievances. This is done by agreement in advance recording before, and after the works so no party suffers loss or gain.
We serve and receive notices requiring consent under the Party Wall etc Act 1996. We agree Party Wall Awards and Schedules of Condition. We ensure that the works proceed in accordance with the documentation and that any subsequent damage is rectified by the parties responsible.
We work in accordance with the regulations set down by the Act and the RICS code of practice.
