FAQ
Questions homeowners often ask
When do I need a party wall surveyor?
You typically need a party wall surveyor when your neighbour does not consent to your party wall notice, or when you are an adjoining owner and want independent representation. A surveyor ensures the process follows the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 and that a fair award is prepared.
Can you act for the building owner and the adjoining owner?
A single surveyor can be agreed upon by both parties to act as the 'agreed surveyor' under the Act. Alternatively, each party can appoint their own surveyor. We can advise on which approach suits your situation.
How long does the party wall process usually take?
A straightforward case where the adjoining owner responds promptly can be resolved within a few weeks. More complex matters, or cases where there is no response, may take longer due to the statutory timescales set out in the Act.
What information do you need before quoting for party wall surveyor?
Send the property address or postcode, a description of the proposed building work, and any plans or drawings you already have. This helps us assess whether a party wall notice is needed and what the likely scope of work will be.
Can party wall surveyor be part of a staged approach?
Yes. Many building owners start with initial advice, then move into notice preparation, schedule of condition, and party wall award stages as the project progresses.
How do you handle party wall surveyor when the neighbour is unresponsive?
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 sets out clear procedures for when an adjoining owner does not respond within the statutory period. We guide you through the default appointment process so your project can proceed lawfully.
