Party Wall Advice for Owners of Properties in Bethnal Green
Peter Barry Surveyors are here to guide you through the party wall process if you are considering extending or altering your Bethnal Green 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.

About Bethnal Green
Bethnal Green is an area in London’s East End that is in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Whitechapel is to the south, while Bow is to the east.
Bethnal Green is a very mixed area, with a good stock of council housing, as well as an increasing number of trendy new apartments and townhouses. As such, some of the area remains firmly ensconced in its East End roots, whilst other parts are experiencing regeneration and an influx of young, upwardly mobile residents. Bethnal Green is home to the renowned Museum of Childhood and Victoria Park Gardens & Weavers Fields are both large green spaces for recreation.
Bethnal Green is very well placed for access to the City and central London. It has both an underground and mainline station, both of which are in zone 2. Bethnal Green rail offers direct services into Liverpool Street in just 4 minutes, whilst the underground station is on the Central Line.
