Party Wall Surveyor in Darlington

The procedure for dealing with party walls in terms of building and construction works, particularly any conversions or extensions to your house, can be complicated. However, if party wall notices are taken into consideration from the start of a project, and you are sure to employ surveyors to undertake the requisite surveys as early as possible then it can be much easier to get a Party Wall Agreement.

You are required to seek a Party Wall Agreement if your planned work consists of either building on or at the boundary line between two properties, or on an existing party wall or structure, or if your project demands digging below and near the existing 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 neighbouring property is a leasehold or home with multiple occupancy you may have to serve this notice to multiple people. Your Party Wall Notice needs to include details about yourself along with your property as well as specifics about the extent and nature of the planned work.
