We have a team of highly experienced party wall surveyors ready to advise if you’re planning works falling within the scope of the Act to your Barnet property. The process starts with the party planning to undertake works notifying any affected owners.
We can prepare the necessary party wall notices for a nominal fee. In our experience, adjoining owners receiving a notice that has been professionally prepared by a specialist surveyor are more likely to consent or, if they have concerns, concur in the agreement of a single surveyor. Having a single agreed surveyor is the quickest and most cost-effective option where disputes has arisen.
Below you will find links to the hundreds of positive reviews we’ve received from both building owners and adjoining owners in and around Barnet and, so you can be sure you’re in the best possible hands, the company is regulated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).

Barnet is a well-established town on the northern outskirts of London, covering the EN4 and EN5 postcodes within the London Borough of Barnet. Known for its mix of traditional high streets, period homes and residential neighbourhoods, the area offers a more spacious, suburban feel while remaining part of the capital. Its elevated setting and abundance of greenery contribute to a quieter pace of life compared with more central districts.
Barnet benefits from a number of attractive green spaces, including Hadley Green, King George’s Fields and nearby Trent Park, which provide ample opportunities for walking, leisure and outdoor activities. The area also has cultural connections, with comedian and actor Spike Milligan having lived in the nearby neighbourhood of Finchley, and footballer Harry Kane having strong local ties through his early years and schooling in the borough, adding a modern cultural link.
Transport links are a key advantage, with stations such as High Barnet, New Barnet and Cockfosters offering access to the Northern and Piccadilly lines as well as National Rail services into central London. This combination of green space, local character and strong commuter connections makes Barnet particularly appealing to those seeking a balance between urban convenience and suburban living.
