Party wall act: advice, notices and awards
When it comes to the Party Wall Act, Bracknell Surveyors are experts in providing services that align with this legal framework in the United Kingdom. The Party Wall Act regulates construction work that involves party walls, boundary walls, and excavation near neighbouring properties.
If you are planning construction or renovation work that falls under the scope of the Party Wall Act, such as building an extension or making structural alterations, it is essential to serve a formal notice to your adjoining neighbours. This notice informs them of your intended work and outlines their rights as defined by the act.
Bracknell Surveyors, as experienced chartered surveyors in party wall matters, offer a range of valuable services, including:
Serving Party Wall Notices: Their team can assist you in preparing and serving the necessary party wall notices to your adjoining neighbours. These notices serve to inform your neighbours about your proposed work and provide them with an opportunity to respond.
Assessing Party Wall Agreements: If your neighbours respond with dissent to the party wall notice, Bracknell Surveyors can help facilitate negotiations and work towards reaching an agreement between all parties involved. This agreement, known as a party wall agreement or party wall award, establishes the proposed construction work’s rights, obligations, and procedures.
Conducting Party Wall Surveys: Our surveyors can thoroughly inspect the properties involved to assess their condition before construction begins. This survey establishes a baseline condition, ensuring that any potential damage caused by the construction can be correctly identified and resolved.
Resolving Party Wall Disputes: In the event of disputes arising between property owners during or after the construction work, Bracknell Surveyors can provide expert advice, mediation services, and assistance in resolving disagreements. They aim to help all parties involved reach a satisfactory outcome.
Engaging Bracknell Surveyors for their party wall services ensures compliance with the Party Wall Act, protects the rights of all parties involved, and facilitates a smooth and amicable construction process. With their expertise, you can navigate the act’s requirements confidently and ensure that your construction project proceeds smoothly while maintaining good relations with your neighbours.
