Party Wall Surveyor in Bury St Edmunds

The process for dealing with party walls regarding building and construction works, especially any conversions or extensions to your home, can be tricky. However, if party wall notices are taken into account from the outset of a project, and you are sure to appoint surveyors to undertake the necessary surveys as early as possible then it can be much easier to get a Party Wall Agreement.

You need to seek a Party Wall Agreement if your proposed work consists of either building on or at the boundary line between two properties, or on a current party wall or structure, or if your project calls for digging below and near to the current foundation line of the neighbouring property. In all of these situations, you must submit a Party Wall Notice to the owner of the adjoining property. This includes all owners of the property, so if the neighbouring property is a leasehold or home with multiple occupancy you may have to serve this notice to a number of people. Your Party Wall Notice must contain details about yourself and your property as well as information regarding the extent and nature of the planned work.
