Party Wall Surveying
Under The Party Wall etc. Act 1996, an owner is obliged to serve notice on their neighbour, where the ‘The Act’ dictates.
We at BPS Cammes Ltd. offer the pre and post notice services of party wall advisor and party wall surveyor (agreed surveyor, building owners appointed surveyor, adjoining owners appointed surveyor and third surveyor)
Party Wall Advisor:
During the design stage, we can assess your proposals to determine if The Act applies; and if so, we can provide advice on how to mitigate ‘notifiable work’ from your design. Where work remains ‘notifiable', we can prepare and serve notice on your behalf.
If you are in receipt of a party wall notice, we can provide independent advice on what your response options are.
Party Wall Surveyor:
Should no consent be received, a statutory dispute has arisen and surveyor/s need to be appointed. We provide party wall surveyor services, which is an impartial role, where the surveyor/s duty is to administer The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 and determine the matter, by award.
