Party Wall Surveyor in Brighton and Hove

The procedure for dealing with party walls with regards to building and construction works, especially any conversions or extensions to your premises, can be tricky. However, if party wall notices are taken into account from the start of a project, and you are sure to employ surveyors to carry out the requisite surveys as soon as possible then it can be simpler to get a Party Wall Agreement.

You must seek a Party Wall Agreement if your proposed work involves either building on or at the boundary line between two properties, or on an existing party wall or structure, or if your project necessitates digging below and close to the current foundation line of the neighbouring property. In all of these examples, you must submit a Party Wall Notice to the owner of the adjoining property. This includes all owners of the property, so if the adjoining property is a leasehold or home with multiple occupancy you might need to serve this notice to multiple people. Your Party Wall Notice should include details about yourself and your property as well as the specifics of the extent and nature of the proposed work.
