WHAT IS THE PARTY WALL ACT?

The Party Wall Act covers 3 distinct areas of work; changes to an existing party structures, the construction of new walls at the boundary and excavation within 3 or 6 metres of a shared or adjoining structure. An owner proposing to undertake any such work (known as the “building owner”) is required to formally notify the owners of affected neighbouring properties.

If the owner of the neighbouring property (known as the “adjoining owner”) does not consent to the notice, a dispute arises and both parties must appoint a surveyor, or concur in the appointment of a single ‘agreed’ surveyor. The surveyors produce a document called a “party wall award”.

The award confirms the building owner’s right to undertake the work but only in a way that minimises the risk of damage and ensures that the occupants of the adjoining owner’s property do not suffer unnecessary inconvenience. As part of the process, the condition of the adjoining owner’s property is recorded so that if damage is reported either during or following the works, there is a prior record to check it against.

BEACONSFIELD

Beaconsfield, a charming market town in Buckinghamshire, is ideally situated between the bustling towns of High Wycombe to the northwest and Slough to the southeast. Renowned for its blend of historic charm and modern amenities, the town is divided into two distinct areas: the picturesque Old Town, with its Georgian and Tudor architecture, and the newer, vibrant New Town, established following the arrival of the railway.

The town boasts excellent transport links, making it a desirable location for commuters and families alike. Beaconsfield railway station is served by Chiltern Railways, offering swift services to London Marylebone in as little as 25 minutes. For drivers, the M40 motorway, which links London, Oxford, and Birmingham, runs nearby.

A notable attraction in Beaconsfield is Bekonscot Model Village, the world’s oldest model village. Opened in 1929, this enchanting miniature world captures life as it was in the 1930s, complete with tiny railways, picturesque buildings, and meticulous landscaping, delighting visitors of all ages.

Beaconsfield also holds a special literary connection, as it was home to the beloved children’s author Enid Blyton for many years. Unfortunately, the large house where she lived with her husband was demolished in the 1970s, but her memory lives on through the road which now runs through the plot, Blyton Close,

Michel Sfeir
Excellent service!

We booked a survey with Peter Barry Surveyors for the purchase of a home. Maianh was very quick to respond to our initial email and all follow up conversations. They also set us up with a pre-survey phone call with David Breeze (surveyor) who took the time to explain how the survey is conducted. They arranged access to the property directly with the realtor, and we received the report 4 working days later, after which we had another call with David to discuss the report and explained to us what the next steps were. We are now in the process of conducting the specialist surveys (with other companies) as per their recommendation.

Very helpful, very friendly, and professional.
Response from the owner:Thank you very much for your excellent review! We are delighted that you found our team to be helpful, friendly, and professional throughout the process, and I will certainly share your comments with Maianh and David. Thank you for choosing Peter Barry Surveyors!
