We act for both building owners and adjoining owners. We frequently serve notice on behalf of our clients who are proposing to undertake works that may be notified under the Act. If the neighbours consent to the notices then no further action is needed. In some cases a neighbour may consent to a notice on the provision that their property is inspected and a schedule of condition report provided prior to commencement of the build. We can of course provide this service for a nominal fee.
If your adjoining owner dissents to the notices they may concur in our appointment as an agreed surveyor or they may wish to appoint their own surveyor in accordance with section 10 of the Party Wall Act.
In the instances that we are appointed as an Agreed Surveyor thus both parties mutually agreed to our appointment. We will then draft and serve a Party Wall Award setting out the responsibilities of all parties.
When a dissent has occurred the adjoining owner is required by law to appoint a surveyor in the event that there’s been an disagreement between them and you as well.
In such circumstances we are appointed by building owners in the event of a party wall dispute. We help settle these disputes with an award, which includes preparing detailed schedules to protect both sides’ interests as mentioned above under section 10 of The Act.
