Party Wall Surveyor in Dumfriesshire

The procedure for dealing with party walls when it comes to building and construction works, especially any conversions or extensions to your house, can be intricate. 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 requisite 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 demands digging below and close 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 adjoining property is a leasehold or home with multiple occupancy you may need to serve this notice to multiple people. Your Party Wall Notice must include information about yourself along with your property as well as details about the scope and nature of the proposed work.
