Property Surveys and Party Wall Advice in Beckton

Have you received a party wall notice and are not sure how to respond? Perhaps you’re concerned about the proposed works but don’t want to fall out with your neighbour by adding to the cost of their project? Having an agreed surveyor is an economical solution but are you aware that you can also consent with conditions? A typical condition would be for the building owner to cover the cost of a professionally prepared schedule of condition covering the parts of your property that are at risk from the works but it’s also possible to agree conditions relating to the hours of works, access etc. Contact us today to discuss the options.

Recent Activity in Beckton E6

Our specialist valuation surveyor, Steve Hobbs, recently carried out a lease extension valuation survey for a purpose-built period flat in the Beckton area of East Ham. The lease was granted in the late 1980s and now had some 65 years left to run. On examining the title documents, we found that an onerous ground rent had been written into the lease.

The level of the rent, together with the short length of the lease, would significantly affect the value of the flat and would make it hard to secure a mortgage on the property, in turn making it very difficult to sell the flat. We were able to assist the client in extending their lease by providing valuation advice and negotiating the premium on the client’s behalf. Having acquired a new long lease with a peppercorn ground rent the client has now protected the value of their property for the long term.

About Beckton

Situated in the London Borough of Newham, Beckton lies just south of the A13 in Docklands. It is close to City Airport and the University of East London.

Beckton was traditionally a large industrial area but the regeneration of this part of London has meant a wave of new residential developments and the subsequent influx of residents to the area. Although some period housing remains, most buildings are far more modern and there are many townhouses and apartments to choose from. There are some shopping facilities and a number of big name stores in larger shopping areas that cater to the immediate area. There is still a great deal of development taking place in the area but as yet there is no cohesive centre to Beckton.

Beckton Park station is in zone 3 and is on the DLR, which connects passengers to the Docklands and the City of London, as well as providing quick links to nearby City Airport.

The team at Peter Barry were professional, timely, and thorough. They were also very accommodating at supporting us above and beyond what the job entailed. I'd recommend using them again for any party wall agreements or schedule of conditions.

Cameron at Peter Barry Surveyors provided an excellent service throughout our PWA process with our neighbours. He was very responsive, kept me informed at every stage, and explained everything clearly in a way that was easy to understand. His professional approach and reassuring manner gave me confidence from start to finish. I really appreciated the time he took to answer my questions and ensure I understood the process. I would highly recommend Cameron and Peter Barry Surveyors to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and professional surveyor.

We used Peter Barry for a Party Wall Agreement. Highly recommended. Excellent service from start to finish. We had overlooked need for PWA, and needed urgent help. James Merewether could not have been more helpful: explaining what had to be done (more than AI had told me!), and promptly responding to our various calls and emails to get the initial notice served quickly. He then did the condition survey, wrote it up promptly, liaised with the neighbour’s surveyor despite James being on holiday, and then served the Final Award. A pleasure to deal with a true professional.

Harry Tucker

Another excellent service provided by Callum and Peter Barry. From start to finish, communication was outstanding, with regular updates and clear explanations throughout the entire process. Callum works exceptionally hard and goes above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly. What can often be a complicated and stressful process was made incredibly simple thanks to his knowledge, professionalism, and attention to detail. He was always available to answer questions, responded promptly, and made sure we understood every step along the way. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Callum to anyone looking for a reliable, efficient, and highly professional party wall surveyor. Thank you again for another excellent service.
