We agree Party Wall Awards and Schedules of Condition. We ensure that the works proceed in accordance with the documentation and that any subsequent damage is rectified by the parties responsible.

The Party Wall Act

The Party Wall Act is a UK law that was introduced in 1996. The purpose of the act is to set out the procedures to be followed when carrying out certain types of building work that affect neighbouring walls, party fence walls, and excavations near neighboring buildings.

Prior to undertaking any work on a party wall, it is imperative to obtain written consent from both the building owner and the adjoining homeowner. This consent is required regardless of the nature or scale of the project. It is also important to ensure that this permission is documented in writing to avoid any conflicts or legal issues arising.

The legislation applies in England and Wales but does not extend into Scotland or Northern Ireland.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found surveyor Nick Sharp most professional and personable. His knowledgeable, speedy responses to calls and emails made for a refreshing experience. I highly recommend him and his team at Simmons Taylor Hall.

 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.
