Get Party Wall Surveyor quotes today!
The procedure for dealing with party walls in terms of building and construction works, particularly any conversions or extensions to your home, can be intricate. However, if party wall notices are planned for from the early phases of a project, and you are sure to appoint surveyors to undertake the necessary surveys as early 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 agree 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 selected 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 may have suffered due to the works.

The London Borough of Hackney is a north east London Borough within Inner London in the UK. Southern and eastern parts of the borough are popularly, but unofficially, regarded as being a part of east London, with northern and western areas considered to belong to north London. The London Plan, issued by the Greater London Authority, assigns whole boroughs to sub-regions for statutory monitoring, engagement and resource allocation purposes. The latest 2011 iteration of this strategy assigns Hackney towards the ‘East’ sub-region, whilst the 2008 and 2004 versions assigned the borough to ‘North’ and ‘East’ sub-regions respectively.
Hackney is bounded by Islington towards the west, Haringey towards the north, Waltham Forest to the north-east, Newham towards the east, Tower Hamlets to the south-east and also the City of London to the south-west. It covers a total area of 7.36 square miles. Based on population estimates from 2014, the borough has a permanent population of around 263150 individuals. A great deal of Hackney retains an inner-city character, but in such locations as Dalston big housing estates have been joined by newly developed gated communities. In South Hackney, close to Victoria Park, terraced Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian housing still survives.
Towards the north of the borough are Upper Clapton and Lower Clapton, Stamford Hill and Stoke Newington. Light industries inside the area around the River Lea employ over 3000 personnel. Some of the area was employed for the 2012 Summer Olympics.
