Party Wall Advice for Owners of Properties in Enfield

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 Enfield 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 Enfield 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).

Recent Activity in Enfield EN1, EN2 & EN3

Our Associate Director Matthew Price recently acted as agreed surveyor in respect of a party wall matter just off Green Street in EN3. He was assisted by Katie Merchant. The owner of an end of terrace 1930 built house proposed to cut chimney breasts away from the party wall and cut beams in to facilitate a loft conversion.

We were originally approached by the adjoining owner as they were concerned about the impact of the work and wanted a surveyor to consider how the risks might be reduced. The building owner requested that we also act for them, and the adjoining owner was open to such an arrangement. A party wall surveyor can act for both parties in a party wall dispute as there is an obligation to act impartially. Matthew produced a party wall award which authorised the work but included several provisions to mitigate the risk of damage and avoid inconvenience to the adjoining occupiers.

The adjoining owner was pleased with the outcome, stating in a review that Katie and the surveyor [Matthew] were both very helpful, friendly and reliable.
