Party Wall Surveyor in Newton Abbot

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

You must seek a Party Wall Agreement if your planned work involves either building on or at the boundary line between two properties, or on a pre-existing party wall or structure, or if your project calls for digging below and near the existing foundation line of the adjoining 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 need to serve this notice to a number of people. Your Party Wall Notice needs to include information about yourself and your property as well as details about the scope and nature of the proposed work.
