Party Wall Surveyor in Islington.

Party Wall Notices in Islington

If your planned works fall under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, you are legally required to serve notice on any affected neighbours before proceeding. We prepare and serve legally valid Party Wall Notices for homeowners, developers, and landlords across Islington, helping to reduce delays and avoid unnecessary disputes.

Typical works requiring a Party Wall Notice:

• Rear or side home extensions
• Loft conversions involving party wall alterations or steel beams
• Excavation works within 3 or 6 metres of neighbouring foundations
• Removal of chimney breasts
• Construction of new walls near or on a boundary line
• We handle the full notice process from assessment to delivery – ensuring you meet your obligations without stress.

Party Wall Surveying and Awards

If your neighbour dissents to the notice or doesn’t respond, the next step is to appoint a Party Wall Surveyor. We act either as your appointed surveyor or, where appropriate, as the agreed surveyor for both parties.

• We then prepare a legally binding Party Wall Award, which includes:
• A clear description of the proposed works
• Conditions for access and working hours
• Protective measures for the adjoining property
• Confirmation of legal rights and responsibilities
• This formal agreement provides legal clearance for the works to begin while maintaining fairness and transparency for all parties involved.

Schedule of Condition Reports

Before construction starts, we carry out a Schedule of Condition Report on the neighbouring property. This includes detailed photographs and written records, capturing the property's existing state. It protects both parties by providing a reliable reference point in case of later damage claims.
