We have over 20 years of experience and extensive knowledge of dealing with party wall matters previously under the London Building Acts but now under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996.
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 came into force on 1 July 1997 throughout England and Wales and covers most building operations either on, adjacent or close to a neighbours property. The general principal of the Act enables an owner to undertake certain specific works on, or adjacent to, adjoining properties whilst giving protection to potentially affected neighbours. It covers far more than just party walls so our advice would be to always seek professional advice. We believe it taking a proactive and practical approach in acting as Party wall surveyors. The Act, in essence is a very practical piece of legislation. It sets out a process that allows each side to look at the proposals before works are carried out and to avoid possible problems and costly litigation. As appointed Party Wall Surveyors we can act for either party or in inany cases for both giving impartial practical advice to both sides in reaching an agreement (known as an Award). No matter what relationship you have with your neighbours there is nothing like building works to put it to the test. We as party wall surveyors deal in practicalities as well as understanding the wide ranging powers available in law under the Act. Boundaries
One of those areas that is forgotten until Then all hell breaks loose. No matter whether it is being done to you or claimed against you we can help. We look at the issue with fresh and experienced eyes and can prepare any technical data needed to resolve the issues. This may include the preparation of detailed measures surveys, collection of historical data from site inspection, deeds and photographic evidence. We can prepare the necessary reports to enable court judgement and if necessary we can also give oral evidence in court. |
