Party Wall Award and negotiations

Party wall advice helps property owners with shared boundaries keep construction projects compliant, safe, and on schedule. Our party wall surveyors provide specialist statutory advice to building owners and adjoining owners affected by party wall, boundary, or excavation matters, to allow lawful works to proceed, protect the interests of adjoining owners, and minimise the risk of later disputes. We help clients by advising whether the Act applies, serving or responding to notices, agreeing Schedules of Condition, negotiating awards and resolving technical matters between appointed surveyors.

Party wall services

Review of proposed works

Our specialists conduct an initial review of your proposed plans and drawings to determine how the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies to your project and identify which elements of your build require statutory duties.

Preparation and service of party wall notices

We can draft and legally serve all necessary party wall notices to neighbouring property owners on your behalf, ensuring compliance with statutory timelines and correctly presenting the technical scope of work to minimise the risk of formal disputes.

Schedules of condition

Our surveyors can prepare and agree on Schedules of Condition that record the physical state of the neighbouring property before any adjacent works, creating an undeniable baseline against which future deterioration, damage, or liability can be assessed.

Party Wall Award negotiation

We can support in the negotiation and agreement of Party Wall Awards to ensure works can proceed lawfully while balancing the interests of both building and adjoining owners. The negotiations can include methods and hours of work, safeguards, and access provisions for all parties involved.

Party wall inspections

We provide professional inspections, monitoring, and damage assessment advice both during and after the works to resolve and prevent damage disputes throughout the construction process.

Advice from trusted party wall surveyors

Party wall negotiations are often complex, involving intricate legislation, sensitive relationships with neighbours, and multiple stakeholders. As a multidisciplinary practice, we liaise with structural engineers, architects, contractors, owners, and solicitors on your behalf to minimise stress and prevent delays. We can also offer a full project management service to ensure your construction projects advance smoothly.
