Free lunchtime CPD for property professionals

Miscellaneous | Party Wall Questions | Party Walls

Over the last couple of years we’ve put on a series of lunchtime CPD sessions covering party wall procedures for Architects, engineers, housing associations and local authorities. We’re now accepting requests to book sessions over the next few months.

Originally the sessions were held at the organisations’ offices but over the last year, like all meetings, they’ve moved to a virtual platform. It’s not quite the same as being face to face but we’re still managing to make the experience as interactive as possible by encouraging attendees to raise party wall related issues that they’ve experienced on past or current jobs. Hopefully it won’t be too long now until we can do the sessions face to face again.

A typical 50-minute session covers the following topics:

  • Issues to consider at the design stage
  • Notifiable works and types of notices
  • Notice periods and why they’re not important
  • How owners can improve the chances of a consent
  • The appointment of surveyors and surveyors’ fees
  • Rights of access under the Act

Sessions are hosted by one of our Directors who are all very experienced party wall surveyors.

If having a better understanding of procedures under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 would be beneficial in your day to day work and in discussions with clients you’ll want to take advantage of this offer.

If you are a RIBA Chartered Member the session will count towards your annual CPD obligations by providing a ‘general awareness’ of party wall procedures (2 points).

You don’t have to have a boardroom or overhead projectors; just a space to sit in and an audience that are willing to learn. If you’re interested in arranging a session please contact Susan Bradford on 020 7183 2578 or by email at susan.bradford@peterbarry.co.uk.

Excellent service, Bawor was extremely professional and efficient in providing the support I needed to get my award.
Excellent service and comprehensive survey provided
After our initial visit from James Merewether.We have found Peter Barry surveyors to be friendly and professional
We had an excellent experience with Peter Barry Chartered Surveyors. Their communication was fast and seamless, and they were always available when we needed them. Our surveyor was not only professional but also genuinely helpful, offering clear insights and practical advice that helped us save money. His open and approachable nature made the process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommended
Good experience with Peter Barry. They were efficient, clear in communications and good to work with all round. Recommend
I've found the Winchmore Hill office to be extremely helpful and professional. From my first enquiry, the two people I spoke to initially took time to answer all my questions and explain the process, which I was new to.
After that, Trina on the administration side and Katie the surveyor were both very helpful, friendly and reliable. During the survey itself, Katie went to great lengths to help and spent a good time answering my questions afterwards too. I appreciated their service and would recommend them.
