If your neighbour is planning an extension, loft conversion, basement, structural alteration or excavation close to your property, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 may apply. We provide independent advice and surveyor services to help protect your property and ensure the statutory Party Wall process is properly followed.

If you have received a Party Wall Notice from a neighbour, it is important to understand what the proposed works involve and what your options are before deciding whether to consent or dissent.

Who Pays the Adjoining Owner's Surveyor's Fees?

In many cases, where the works are solely for the benefit of the Building Owner, the Building Owner will be responsible for the reasonable costs associated with the Party Wall Award, including the Adjoining Owner’s surveyor’s fees.

However, costs can depend on the circumstances and the nature of the works. The Party Wall surveyor(s) determine costs as part of the statutory process where appropriate.

We can explain the likely fee arrangements when we review your circumstances and the proposed works.
