Party Wall Surveyor in Scarborough

The procedure for dealing with party walls in relation to building and construction works, particularly any conversions or extensions to your property, can be intricate. However, if party wall notices are considered from the start of a project, and you are sure to employ surveyors to carry out the necessary surveys as early as possible then it can be much easier to get a Party Wall Agreement.

You must seek a Party Wall Agreement if your proposed 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 close to the current 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 adjoining 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 proposed work.
