Get Party Wall Surveyor estimate today!
The procedure for dealing with party walls regarding building and construction works, especially any conversions or extensions to your premises, can be complicated. However, if party wall notices are taken into consideration from the beginning of a project, and you are sure to use surveyors to carry out the requisite surveys as soon as possible then it can be easier to get a Party Wall Agreement.
After a Party Wall Notice is served, the neighbour has fourteen days to agree to the works, in which case they can proceed under a Party Wall Agreement. In the event that the neighbour dissents to the notice, a surveyor must be selected who will reach an Agreement between the two parties, setting out the extent of the work as well as any procedures that either party might use to recoup any damages they may have incurred because of the works.

Acton is a district in the London Borough of Ealing in west London. It’s 6.1 miles west of Charing Cross. At the 2011 census, Acton had a population of 62,480 – a 10 year increase of 8,791 individuals.
Acton means ‘oak farm’ or ”farm by oak trees’, and derives from old English. It was originally an ancient village, and as London expanded it was absorbed into the city. Since 1965, Acton has been part of the east of Ealing, but some sections of East Acton are within the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham and a small portion of South Acton is in the London Borough of Hounslow. Acton is one of the places with the most stations bearing their name anywhere in the UK, with seven stations including its name.
Central Acton is called the hub of commerce and retail on the former main road between London and Oxford, called the Uxbridge Road. The main road contains a great deal of inns, which date back to the late Tudor period as stopping places for travellers. Today, the A40 dual carriageway is the key route from London to Oxford, and it bypasses central Acton. It still passes through East Acton and North Acton.
Acton is home to the biggest housing estate in West London, named the South Acton estate, with approximately 2,000 properties and 5,800 residents. The location is presently in phase two of a major 15-year phased regeneration which includes nearly total demolition of the current residential units as well as the building of brand new and more residences. This is likely to boost its population further.
