Party Wall Surveyor in Midlothian

The procedure for dealing with party walls with regards to building and construction works, especially any conversions or extensions to your house, can be complicated. However, if party wall notices are planned for from the beginning of a project, and you are sure to appoint surveyors to undertake the necessary surveys as early as possible then it can be easier to get a Party Wall Agreement.

You are required to seek a Party Wall Agreement if your planned work involves either building on or at the boundary line between two properties, or on a current party wall or structure, or if your project requires digging below and near the pre-existing foundation line of the neighbouring property. In all of these examples, you must submit a Party Wall Notice to the owner of the neighbouring 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 should include details about yourself along with your property as well as information about the scope and nature of the planned work.
