Party Wall Surveyor in Consett

The procedure for dealing with party walls when it comes to building and construction works, particularly any conversions or extensions to your home, can be complex. However, if party wall notices are considered from the early phases of a project, and you are sure to appoint surveyors to undertake the requisite surveys as soon as possible then it can be simpler to get a Party Wall Agreement.

After a Party Wall Notice is served, the neighbour has fourteen days to assent to the works, in which case they can proceed under a Party Wall Agreement. If the neighbour dissents to the notice, a surveyor must be appointed who will reach an Agreement between the two parties, setting out the scope of the work as well as any procedures that either party might use to recoup any damages they could have suffered because of the works.
