WHAT WE OFFER

Our team of Chartered Surveyors has extensive property experience. We advise the circumstances in which the Act will apply, as well as the procedures to be followed in line with the Party Wall etc. Act 1996.

We act as Party Wall Surveyors for building owners seeking to carry out ‘notifiable’ works and adjoining owners requiring notice. We serve and receive notices, prepare Schedules of Condition and prepare and agree Party Wall Awards. Our advice ensures work will be carried out in accordance with the legal obligations.

Party Wall Survey Service

The Party Wall ect. Act 1996 provides an important regulatory framework for party walls and structures between properties. As such, it is imperative that you familiarise yourself with the requirements and take necessary steps to ensure compliance before work begins on site – even if only corrective measures are being taken.

The consent of both the building owner and adjoining home-owner is required before any work can be carried out on a party wall. This document must stipulate that you have permission in writing for whatever type or size project you’re working with, whether it’s remedial measures only or if there are potential future improvements too! The legislation applies in England and Wales but does not extend into Scotland or Northern Ireland.

It’s vital to stay compliant to avoid any future disputes over who is liable for problems or damage to the wall.

Chasing walls or floors for pipework or electricity
Supporting, rebuilding or building the wall

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nick was a tremendous help with surveying our home and providing a timely report. He also arranged for our Party Wall Award, which was at times quite testing. He was professional and experienced all the way through. We will use him again if we ever needed too.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In my search for a new home, STH had the dubious “privilege” of providing me with three (!) building surveys on three prospective properties.  Thankfully, the third survey passed muster and gave me the assurance to complete on the purchase.

Communication with Trevor, Nick and the team was excellent.  They were approachable and knowledgeable, and the sound, professional advice received was greatly appreciated.  I would certainly use STH again and have no hesitation in recommending them to you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I instructed STH to undertake a party wall award between my company and a neighbour. Nick was prompt, professional and a pleasure to deal with. Many thanks for your help.
