Helping disputes with expert advice

Party Wall Surveys

One of the key points to remember when intending to make alterations to a party wall or a boundary wall, or to build close to/on a boundary (up to a distance of 6 metres/20 feet away), is that it is vital to get expert advice as early as possible. Furthermore, you will normally need to formally notify your neighbour of your intentions - a requirement under the Party Wall etc Act 1996.
By involving party wall specialists such as Croft Surveyors who are members of the Pyramus & Thisbe Society (an organisation for party wall practitioners), we can help you gain additional space for your development and help avoid unnecessary confrontation with your neighbours.

As Agreed Surveyor or Adjoining Owner's Surveyor, our role is to resolve disputes between the owners, preparing a Party Wall Award to set out the rights and responsibilities of each owner.
