PARTY WALL ADVICE
IN IPSWICH

You'll have arrived at this page because you've received a letter from us regarding your neighbour's proposed building works and are interested in learning more about party wall procedures.

The proposals are currently going through the planning process and that usually takes about 8 weeks but, as 90% of applications are granted, it’s a good idea to start considering how you can protect your property and minimise any inconvenience.

We can obtain a copy of the plans from the planning portal, provide you with a summary of how you and your property are likely to be affected and explain how the protections offered by the Party Wall Act work. Just call us on the number above (selecting Option 1 for ‘party wall’) or complete the simple form below and we’ll come back to you as soon as possible.

I recently instructed a Peter Barry Chartered Surveyors (RICS Independent Valuer) to provide valuations for two of my properties for lease extension purposes, and I was extremely impressed with the service received. The valuation reports were completed promptly and professionally, with excellent communication throughout the process. What stood out most was the clear and practical advice provided regarding the expected lease extension premium, taking into account the current ground rent provisions contained within the leasehold documentation. The valuer demonstrated strong expertise, explained the implications of the ground rent clauses in an easy-to-understand manner, and gave realistic expectations of the likely premium payable. I would highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, efficient, and reliable RICS lease extension valuer.

PARTY WALL CASE STUDIES

Loft Conversion

The joists forming the floor of most roof spaces are not designed to withstand the weight of people and furniture...

Rear Extensions

Some work covered by the Party Wall Act does not affect any existing party walls put still has the potential to cause damage and inconvenience...

Side Return Extension

It is very common for an ‘L’ shaped Victorian property to be extended into what is referred to as the ‘side return’ area, effectively squaring it off at ground floor level...

Peter Barry Chartered Surveyors conducted level 3 survey on a house that we intended to acquire. The received report was comprehensive and clearly listed out all the necessary repairs. The total incurred fees were circa £2000 which included fee for giving estimated costs of the listed out necessary repairs. Definitely recommending this company.
