Party Wall Advice for Owners of Properties in Dulwich
If you’re thinking about extending your Dulwich property, there may be party wall matters to consider. We can advise on the service of notices, preparing schedules of condition and acting as appointed surveyor if a dispute arises. We also regularly act for adjoining owners in Dulwich, ensuring that their properties are adequately protected during the works.
Works falling within the scope of the Party Wall Act not only include those that directly affect a party wall, such as cutting in beams or removing chimney breasts, but also new walls constructed either up to or astride the boundary and adjacent excavation. Many owners are surprised to find out that excavating foundations on their own land, set back from the boundary, may fall within the scope of the Act if they are within 3.00m metres of a shared or adjoining structure.
Our team of specialist party wall surveys are on hand to guide you through the process.

About Dulwich
Dulwich, located in the London Borough of Southwark, is a leafy and historic part of South East London known for its village-like feel and elegant period properties. Centred around Dulwich Village, the area features a mix of Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian homes set along quiet, tree-lined streets. Its strong sense of community and abundance of green spaces give it a distinctly relaxed character while remaining close to central London.
One of Dulwich’s key attractions is Dulwich Park, a beautifully maintained open space offering a boating lake, sports facilities and landscaped gardens. The area is also home to the Dulwich Picture Gallery, the UK’s oldest public art gallery, which hosts a varied programme of exhibitions throughout the year. Dulwich has long attracted creative and academic figures, and P.G. Wodehouse, the renowned author and humorist, was a former pupil of Dulwich College, adding a notable cultural link to the neighbourhood.
Dulwich enjoys convenient transport connections via North Dulwich, West Dulwich and East Dulwich stations, with direct rail services to London Bridge, Victoria and Blackfriars. Despite its peaceful ambiance, the area offers quick access to the city, making it particularly appealing for commuters seeking a balance between urban convenience and a more tranquil residential setting.
