If you’re thinking about extending your Walthamstow property, there may be party wall matters to consider. We can advise on the service of notices, preparing schedules of condition and acting as appointed surveyor if a dispute arises. We also regularly act for adjoining owners in Walthamstow, ensuring that their properties are adequately protected during the works.
Works falling within the scope of the Party Wall Act not only include those that directly affect a party wall, such as cutting in beams or removing chimney breasts, but also new walls constructed either up to or astride the boundary and adjacent excavation. Many owners are surprised to find out that excavating foundations on their own land, set back from the boundary, may fall within the scope of the Act if they are within 3.00m metres of a shared or adjoining structure.
Our team of specialist party wall surveys are on hand to guide you through the process.
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.
