Party Walls

Robin Austin Surveyors can act as a Party Wall Surveyor on behalf of either the building owner or adjoining owner in matters arising under the Party Wall etc Act 1996.

We are happy to provide advice if you intending to carry out building work which may fall under the party wall etc act or are an adjoining building owner who has been affected by party wall issues.

We can offer a service ideally suited to both residential and commercial occupiers affected by such matters.

The Party Wall Etc Act 1996 will affect you if the following circumstances arise:

  1. You wish to carry out work on an existing structure or wall which is shared with a neighbouring occupier.
  2. You are building a freestanding wall up to a boundary with a neighbouring property.
  3. You are excavating near a neighbouring building.

There are legal considerations to be made to avoid the risk of legal action being taken. Please feel free to contact our team in order to discuss your specific requirements.
