Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our party wall surveyor and building survey services

Party Wall Agreement London can help determine if your extension requires a party wall agreement under the Party Wall etc Act 1996. Generally, you need party wall surveyor involvement if your works involve building on the boundary, working on existing party walls, or excavating within 3-6 metres of a neighbouring building's foundations. Our expert party wall surveyors can review your plans and advise on the necessary procedures.

The party wall agreement process typically takes 2-4 months from serving the initial party wall notice. Building owners must serve notice at least 2 months before starting work (1 month for line of junction works). If neighbours consent immediately, work can start earlier. If they dissent or don't respond within 14 days, party wall surveyors must be appointed to prepare an award, which usually takes 4-8 weeks depending on complexity.

Look for RICS chartered surveyors with specialist party wall experience. All our party wall surveyors are RICS members with additional qualifications such as membership of the Pyramus & Thisbe Club (the specialist party wall surveyors' association) and diplomas in party wall surveying. Professional indemnity insurance and continuing professional development are also essential qualifications for party wall surveyor appointments.

Building survey costs in London vary depending on property size, type, and survey level required. Level 2 Homebuyer Reports typically range from £400-£800, while comprehensive Level 3 Building Surveys range from £800-£1,500. Costs increase for larger properties, commercial buildings, or specialist surveys. Our RICS chartered surveyors provide detailed quotes based on your specific requirements.

A party wall agreement is an informal document where adjoining owners consent to proposed works. A party wall award is a formal legal document prepared by appointed party wall surveyors when neighbours dissent or don't respond to notices. Awards are more detailed, legally binding, and include specific conditions, protective measures, and procedures. Both achieve the same goal of enabling work to proceed legally under the Party Wall Act 1996.
