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.

East London and neighbouring parts of Essex have been on an upwards trajectory in recent years, boosted by investment relating to the 2012 Olympics and the opening of Crossrail.
Investment has poured into areas such as Stratford, which has one of the biggest shopping centres in the country and Newham which is the focus of the post Olympics London Legacy Development Corporation. Areas earmarked for regeneration include Bromley by Bow, Canning Town and Custom House.
Our team of surveyors cover the whole of East London and are familiar with all the typical property types from the period houses common in areas such as Leytonstone and Hackney to modern apartments blocks closer to the centre of London.
