The Party
Wall etc. Act
The Party Wall
etc. Act has potential implications for anyone undertaking building work within
12m of their site boundary. The Act requires
the agreement of neighbouring owners to certain categories of work and
specifies procedures that must be followed including notice periods before the
work can be commenced. If the
procedures are not followed you will be breaking the law.
We are experienced
in the drafting of Party Wall Agreements and are able to handle this aspect of
work for you. If agreement can not be
reached with your neighbour(s) we are able to appoint a Party Wall surveyor who
will attempt to mediate and resolve the dispute but if necessary make an
independent award.
Our aim is to
provide an efficient professional service at competitive prices. The basis of our fees will always be agreed
before any costs are incurred and we will identify exactly what is included in
our package of services. We are
prepared to invoice on a ‘lump sum’ fee basis, a percentage fee basis or at
hourly charge rates. There are no
hidden surprises. Travelling and
general disbursement costs are usually included.
Please contact us
if we can be of assistance.
