In this blog post we are going to be looking at a decision that every single building owner or adjoining owner will find themselves faced with;
"How to choose a Party Wall Surveyor?"
When considering this question, it is important to briefly refer back to the Party Wall etc Act 1996 and in particular, Section 20 which defines a "Surveyor" as...
Damage caused by notifiable works under the Party Wall etc Act 1996, to a neighbour's (adjoining owner) property is referred to as party wall damage and in most cases, the onus lies upon the building owner to make good or compensate for damage.
What do you do when the adjoining owner is a large housing trust, local authority or the Council?
The first thing to remember, is that this isn't an unconventional position to be in. A lot of properties border local authority properties, and therefore serving Party Wall Notices on these types of owners is actually quite normal...
The party wall procedures are costly and may add thousands of pounds to a construction project if handled incorrectly. Hence, it is prudent to consult with an expert Party Wall Surveyor, as these professionals can guide you with regards to limiting your expenses...
More often than not the Party Wall procedures and the Party Wall etc Act 1996 can be discovered at a later stage of the pre works construction process. This not only adds unplanned delays but can also be a stressful process to line up before the all-important contractor start date. In an effort to combat this, we are pleased to be able to offer any enquirer 30 minutes free Party Wall advice with an experienced Party Wall Surveyor.
In this blog post, I am going to be looking at some important Party Wall Notice Tips that I have found useful over the years.
Party Wall Notices not only commence the Party Wall Procedures, but they also notify the adjoining owner of the building owner's up and coming construction works...
One of the most common questions I am asked during my day to day job, is whether an adjoining owner can dissent after they have consented to a Party Wall Notice... So what happens if an adjoining owner wants to dissent after a consent?
As a leaseholder, if you want to make structural or material changes to your property then you will need to obtain a Licence to Alter (LTA), also known as a Licence for Alterations from your freeholder...
In this blog post I'm going to be looking at Party Wall Awards and in particular how long they are valid for after the date of their service.
For those readers that don't know what a Party Wall Award is, in short a Party Wall Award is the conclusion of the Party Wall procedures and gives a building owner the legal right to commence the proposed works to his property...
In this blog post I will be discussing in what instances a Party Wall Agreement is required.
Before discussing if a Party Wall Agreement is required, it is important to understand what a Party Wall Agreement is and the purpose of it.
A Party Wall Agreement or sometimes referred to as a Party Wall Award is a legally binding document which can either be produced by one or more Surveyors depending on the complexity of a specific job…
In this blog post I am going to be looking at the rights that a Party Wall Award provides a building owner and how soon works can commence once the Party Wall Award has been agreed and served.
So, you've gone through the required procedures that the Party Wall etc Act 1996 requires, commonly this will mean:
The Party Wall Notices have been served.
The Schedule of Condition inspection has taken place.
The Party Wall Award has been Agreed and Served.
You arrive home to find a Party Wall Notice which is in the form of a Letter, under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. Your neighbour is intending to carry out some works. What are your Party Wall Notice Response options?
You can ignore the Letter/Notice, but that will have consequences.
You can sign the Acknowledgement Letter, enclosed together with the Party Wall Notice and possibly drawings attached, and agree to the works, but that will also have consequences.
You can dissent to the Party Wall Notice and that then becomes a formal dispute between you and your neighbour.
In this blog post I am going to be taking look at Party Wall Damage and what needs to be done when it occurs.
If damage occurs to an adjoining owner's property and the Agreed Surveyor or the two respective Surveyors agree that damage is a result of the building owner's Party Wall works, the building owner will have the legal obligation to make good that damage...
If you have come across the Party Wall process before, you may have come across the term Agreed Surveyor. This term is often used alongside the terms Adjoining Owner's Surveyor, Building Owner's Surveyor, Third Surveyor and various other types of Surveyors, which can be confusing to say the least!
In this blog post I am going to be discussing the type of considerations that need to be taken into account when a leaseholder is obtaining a Licence to Alter from his freeholder.
In this blog post, I will be discussing the typical defects that occur to brickwork and their common causes.
Defective brickwork can have various causes, this could include poor design, workmanship and whilst bricks are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, they can at times succumb to them.
Let's discuss some common brick defects
As a Party Wall Surveyor, one of the more common questions asked by adjoining owners is:
"Will I pay your fees or will the building owner pay your fees?"
In every normal circumstance where a building owner requires a Party Wall Award to be agreed, the building owner will cover the cost of the Surveyor or Surveyors, who have been appointed…
In this blog we will be looking at Party Wall Notices and in particular what should be done if the adjoining owner's name isn't available.
The common way to obtain an adjoining owner's name is via the land registry information portal.
In very rare circumstances the land registry will not contain any information on the owner of the property.
When you reach home and find a party wall notice served upon you under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, you must be wondering about the right way to respond to the notice. You have the following options…
You may ignore the Party Wall Notice; however, this is going to have some consequences.
You may sign the Acknowledgement Letter which is enclosed with the notice. The drawings of the proposed construction work may stay attached to the notice. This will also have consequences.
You may dissent to the notice. This response will become the source of formal dispute between you and your neighbour...
