Peter Barry Surveyors are here to guide you through the party wall process if you are considering extending or altering your Chingford property. We like to work closely with owners to avoid unnecessary disputes and secure the best outcome. Where the works are straightforward, a detailed record of the condition of the adjoining property may be all that is required.
The process starts with the party proposing to undertake works falling within the scope of the Act formally notifying any affected adjoining owners. Those works will include anything that directly affects the party wall such as removing internal walls and cutting pockets to allow for the insertion of beams as well as new walls constructed at the boundary and excavation within up to 6.00m of adjoining or shared structures.
Our team of experienced party wall surveyors can assist with the service of notices and can act as an impartial appointed surveyor should a dispute arise.
If you planning to undertake work falling within the scope of the Act or have received a party wall notice please call for some free advice or drop us an email.

Chingford is a London suburb that is geographically located in the Borough of Waltham Forest. Chingford is overlooked to the north by Epping Forest, whilst the Chingford Reservoirs are to the west.
Chingford is popular with families due to the good selection of large housing in the area and the choice of good schools. It is close enough to central London for an easy commute and yet far enough away to feel completely separated from the capital. The abundance of recreational space also appeals to house hunters and Epping Forest is an ancient woodland that extends for over 6,000 acres.
Chingford doesn’t have an underground station but Chingford Rail station operates direct, regular services into London Liverpool Street, taking just under 30 minutes. There are also a number of bus routes operating between Chingford and other areas of east London, whilst the North Circular offers road access to other parts of London.
