Party Wall Problems? Don’t Panic — We’ll Handle It.
If you’re planning to build near a boundary — whether it’s a loft conversion, extension, or internal work — you’ve probably heard about the Party Wall Act. But what does it actually mean? And more importantly… what do you need to do?
That’s where we come in.
Party Wall Problems? Don’t Panic — We’ll Handle It.
If you’re planning to build near a boundary — whether it’s a loft conversion, extension, or internal work — you’ve probably heard about the Party Wall Act. But what does it actually mean? And more importantly… what do you need to do?
That’s where we come in.
🧠 “I Just Want to Get On With My Build — But Now There’s a Legal Wall in the Way.”
The Party Wall Act is one of those things people don’t realise they need… until suddenly they do. Then come the questions:
What notice do I serve — and when?
Do I need a surveyor?
What if the neighbour objects?
Will it delay my build?
It all feels legal, formal, and a bit nerve-wracking — especially if you’re worried about falling out with next door or holding up your schedule.
🛠️ How We Help
At SurvDesign, we’ve been handling Party Wall matters for decades — keeping projects moving and keeping the peace between neighbours across London and the South East.
Whether you’re the Building Owner (doing the work) or the Adjoining Owner (next door), we explain what’s needed, prepare the paperwork, and act as surveyors to protect everyone’s interests.
📄 Our Party Wall Services Include:
✅ Party Wall Notices (correct format & timing)
✅ Schedule of Condition Reports (to protect both parties)
✅ Agreed Surveyor Roles (acting for both sides impartially)
✅ Building Owner or Adjoining Owner Representation
✅ Dispute Resolution & Party Wall Awards
✅ Boundary Clarification & General Advice
We follow the process to the letter — but explain it to you in plain English. No legal waffle. No stress.
🙋♂️ Common Worries — Answered
“What if I don’t serve a notice?”
Your build could be delayed or even stopped. We’ll help you avoid that with the right paperwork served at the right time.“Can’t I just talk to my neighbour?”
You should! But the Act still needs the formal process. We’ll keep things civil and legal.“What if they don’t agree?”
No worries — that’s exactly what a Party Wall Surveyor is for. We’ll handle negotiations, record conditions, and keep the build on track.“Is this going to cost a fortune?”
Nope. We offer fixed pricing, and if we act for both sides as an Agreed Surveyor, it saves time and money.
✨ Life After Working With Us
You’ve got the notices out, the neighbours informed, and the paperwork sorted. You’re legally covered, the relationships are intact, and your project can keep rolling without hiccups.
