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.

Riyadh Rateme

Peter Barry Surveyors have been great throughout getting a level 2 survey. In particular, David Breeze who completed the survey was just brilliant - it’s clear he’s been doing this for a long time.From the get-go, PBS was very responsive. They gave great advice on what kind of survey was most appropriate - very useful for a FTB still getting to grips with the process. The pricing itself was very fair, and more than paid for itself in the updated sale price post-survey.My purchase was on a very tight timeline, so David gave me a call on the day of survey where he clearly ran me through his key findings. This was critical in giving me time to quote repairs and have this reflected in the sale price. He was also extremely generous with his time and experience - and was there to quickly answer any questions I had both before and after receiving the survey. The survey itself was very well written, and the traffic light system made it really easy to pick up on key issues.To summarize, I’m extremely happy with the work done by David and PBS. The house-buying process can be daunting, so recommendations are invaluable - I’ll certainly be pointing friends and family David’s way when they need a great surveyor.

Regina Quaye

Many thanks to Peter Barry Chartered Surveyors for the efficient work done in relation to a Party Wall Agreement.

Callum Escott got the party wall agreements and schedule of conditions visits and reports completed in record time! What a fantastic service and communication throughout. Couldn’t recommend them more!

James Paul

I contacted Peter Barry Surveyors to carry out and L2 survey at a property I purchased in the surrey area. Great communication and was offered a follow up call for any questions I had from the report.Would recommend

Callum Escott guided me through the trenches of a very arduous party wall process. His tenacity, constant follow-up and dedication to the project went above and beyond. Most surveyors would have dumped my case because of the time constraints, but Callum stuck with me the whole way to ensure the success of the award. I will continue to use Callum any time I need a surveyor. I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you!

Tracey Stephens from Peter Barry Surveyors answered the call when I first rang with my concerns regarding my neighbour who started working without notice. She supported me during two exchanges and in both cases I was thoroughly impressed. She took details and advised me what to do immediately. In addition, she sent a formal letter and a copy to me. I really appreciated the expeditious and caring approach in providing the assistance and support I received. This forced the neighbour to act and sort things out immediately. I highly recommend Peter Barry and the Hendon office in particular. Thank you very much for dealing with this and obtaining a positive response. Well Done *****

Mathew Tata

I can strongly recommend the services of Peter Barry; I had a very positive experience with them.They conducted a Level 3 Building Survey of a home we're in the process of purchasing, which was extremely rigorous and well reported. The surveyor in question, Shaun, was very generous with his time on the phone afterwards to discuss some of the suggested repairs, and it's clear that the survey will help us push for a price reduction to compensate for repairs. Thanks to Peter Barry and to Shaun in particular for an excellent service, done professionally and efficiently.

Tim

David Breeze from Peter Barry Surveyors has supported me during two transactions and in both cases I was thoroughly impressed. In addition to the high quality of David's work, I really appreciated his patience and availability, from which I benefitted extremely during the complex transactions.

Callum from Peter Barry was recommended to us by our Architect. Thoroughly happy with his service, extremely professional & knowledgeable, taking the time to walk us through the process and answer any questions we had.

Thank you!

Rohan Shanker

We used Peter Barry for a RICS level 2 survey for a home as buyers. They were prompt, communicative, and the report was delivered quickly! Would use their services again!

Jiwon Choi

After receiving quotes from 6 companies, we went for Peter Barry. Although not the most affordable option, their teams are well organised and promptly responded to our queries. We were happy with the building survey, which was helpful to decide whether we would proceed with the property as we had some concerns. (We eventually did and had the completion recently!) The report is professionally written and you may need to teach yourself if you are uninitiated. The only minus was the report didn't come with any photos of the property. We received some at our request later, but weren't so useful to be fair.

Jenny Owen

A really thorough and detailed survey efficiently delivered in the time specified. As a novice house buyer it really helped me to make good decisions about my property purchase. The surveyor was also available for a phone conversation which I found invaluable.

Irkus Altuna

We worked with Peter Barry Surveyors to get our HomeBuyer survey. They were very professional, everything progressed in a timely manner and the report was exactly what we needed.Communication was spot on and we were efficiently updated through the process.

Callum helped me with Party Wall awards for a basement, loft conversion and rear-extension project in SW6. Callum was highly professional, super friendly and always quick to respond to any emails/phone calls. It wasn't the simplest of PW awards (multiple neighbours on both sides), but Callum is hugely knowledgeable and I had full confidence in him throughout. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and will reach be in touch for all future projects.Thank you again, it’s been a pleasure working with you!

Giuseppe Pio Cascavilla

Very good experience! My surveyor, David, highlighted the major critical points of the property and is helping with great advice. Outstanding customer care as well, with prompt and clear replies. 5 stars.

Veronika Hulikova

Peter Barry surveyors have made the whole process of getting a survey very simple. I opted for the RICS Home Survey – Level 2 Survey Report (survey only). The whole process took around 10 working days from me initially reaching out to the survey sent over to me. The process was very smooth and the team kept me up to date on all the steps. The final report was of a high standard and has helped me understand what additional issues/ costs I may face not only immediately but also in future. I would definitely recommend Peter Barry Surveyors.

Brian Morris

Excellent service overall from Shaun Blake at Peter Barry Surveyors.The initial survey had to be postponed last minute due to a potential collapse in the chain, but that was no problem.The report was exceptionally detailed and comprehensive, very often including details and recommendations which I would not have expected e.g. it is recommended that you enquire about this document further etc.The follow up service was also exceptionally good, with a walkthrough of the issues raised in the report in plain English, including e.g. X may take a roofer 3-4 days, Y will probably be 2-3 more years before it becomes a more serious concern etcFinally, Shaun said he would be happy to take a look over specific documents we had requested on the back of the survey, and when we sent these on he swiftly replied with a very useful and entirely comprehensive review.

Paul Sullivan

I dealt with Justin Burns and he acted quickly and professionally to set up a party wall award for me.I would certainly recommend their services.

Highly recommend. Very thorough surveyors. Although my first experience buying a house I think it is worth paying a bit more to get a proper job done. Not the best communication but overall very happy.

Evie Hammond

I would highly recommend this company. Justin gave an excellent level of service, sound advise - everything was dealt with in a professional, speedy manner.

Cemal Arikan

After being disappointed by a different surveyor in Holborn, I approached this company which had great reviews and I decided to go ahead. Mr Steve Hobbs carried out the survey for my flat and also to put on the report how much the lease extension should cost. The Landlord however was very unreasonable and wanted nearly £10k more than what Mr Hobbs had stated and so Mr Hobbs went ahead with the negotiation and managed to get the premium down to nearly £10k less than what the unruly landlord wanted. Thanks for your service and I will always come back!

Marcus Mangan

Matt was my surveyor. He was helpful, friendly and most importantly meticulous. I would recommend him to a friend.

Henry Smith

Very professional, responsive and quick. Overall a good experience

Dilip Chakraborti

We used Peter Barry to carry out a Level 3 survey and were thoroughly impressed by both the organisation and communication when organising the survey but also the after care. James Peck was very helpful in advising us on what the outcomes meant for our purchase and what our next steps could be. Recommended.

Jason Butler

I found PBS to be super professional and very efficient. From the initial enquiry, to the delivery of the level 3 survey, they were easy to deal with and delivered on time. The surveyor (Justin) even followed up with a phone call to clarify aspects of the survey. Excellent value for money and nice people to deal with.

Aoife Laing

The team at Peter Barry were fantastic. Very quick to answer all queries and get booked in and very helpful, Ishrat was great and helped me organize a survey quickly and easily.

sara brouwer

We requested a Level 2 survey from Peter Barry, and our surveyor David Breeze was a godsend! As first-time buyers we were facing a lot of unknowns, and David went above and beyond to help us with the process. At our request, David gave us a call straight after surveying the property and talked us through his findings. He was extremely generous with his time, and had extensive knowledge of the local property market as well as the condition of the property itself. He answered all of our questions in-depth and even gave some useful insight into how to get the best out of our solicitors and estate agents. The survey report followed swiftly and was comprehensive and clear. We are very grateful to David, Joanne and the wider Peter Barry team for their service - working with them was one of the best decisions we made during the buying process.

Emily “Viajadora Inglesa”

Excellent service from Peter Barry Surveyors. They were very professional and able to conduct survey really quickly after I made an equiry. The Valutation Report was delivered within days. I would recommend using.

Nancy F

Very detailed survey provided, arranged quickly and easily. Great customer service Thank you

Rhonda Cox

I recently turned to Peter Barry Chartered Surveyors with a tricky issue involving a party wall and our neighbour’s new loft, extension and gutters/downpipe rainwater flooding. After sending across documents requested, I was contacted by William Weaver at Peter Barry. He was excellent and offered me sound advice and guidance to move forward. William clearly has vast experienced in property and his knowledgeable was invaluable. It was refreshing not to interact with a faceless online portal. I would definitely recommend Peter Barry and William Weaver to anyone needing a surveyor and help with party walls. Many thanks.

Keith Young

Peter Barry were recommended by another independent surveyor who could not accommodate us due to work and holidays. The housebuying process and engaging a surveyor is entirely new to me. David Breeze who performed our survey exceeded all expectations I had. Not only was his report excellent but he has spent a considerable amount of time with us post-survey patiently explaining the significant and not-so-significant findings, answering all our questions and giving us invaluable advice on defect remediation and the homebuying process in general which I would have considered to be far outside the original remit but is very, very much appreciated.

John Cryer

William was very knowledgeable and provided excellent and objective advice.

Stacey Venn

Incredibly friendly company, easy to use and efficient. Thanks Steve and team!

Paul Church

Justin was great and visited the property very quickly and had a great turnaround time to providing us with a detailed survey and photos of any issues found at the property. It helped us feel informed for our purchase of the property. I would use Peter Barry Surveyors again in the future.

Hannah Bennett

We have been so happy with Justin and the team. They have been prompt, thorough and professional and have answered all our questions. Ishrat has also been wonderful. Thank you!

Maelle

Peter did an amazing job of surveying our flat. Very professional service. Thank you very much

Peter Fundela

Needed to get a survey for a lease extension, Peter Barry was recommended to me by another surveyors. I found the process very quick and easy as I had the spec of the property.

The report Justin Burns wrote was excellent and showed expertise. It was extensive, detailed and it gave us a very good idea of the state of the house.

Nick Jones

Speedy and thorough service - thanks!

Excellent service

Philip Georgiadis

Cristina Santos

Peter Barry Surveyors came highly recommended for our Homebuyer survey from family members. As first-time buyers the entire buying process can be quite overwhelming but having a survey that you can trust is essential. Ishrat and John kept their communication at all times and were very prompt booking the survey and answering any questions we add. A note I would just put forward, old houses surveys can be extensive and scare anyone out as well. This was the case with us, however call your surveyor to ask questions and arrange the specialist checks they advise prior to any panic.

Seb L

Had a great experience with James at PBS handling a party wall matter. All round professional and good comms. Our neighbours chose to use them as a joint surveyor and they seemed to act positively but fairly for all parties.

Richard Nguyen

Callum Escort was extremely professional in aiding me for my home. He ensured that the process was efficient and collaborative with friendly advice; I would highly recommend!

Anthony Mazen

Peter Barry Surveyors were excellent. Justin and Ishrat were very responsive, the report was pulled together extremely quickly and was very comprehensive and easy to understand. As a result not only do we feel like we are walking into our house purchase with our eyes open, but we have already been able to get the seller to cover the cost of items we hadn't appreciated were even issues. Worth every penny! Thank you.
