Property Surveys and Party Wall Advice in Barnes

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 Barnes SW13

The owners of a mid-terraced property in Barnes SW13, were planning an extensive refurbishment and extension and sought the services of our experienced Chartered Surveyor Matthew Price.

The owners’ major concern was the response from neighbours and whether they would seek to appoint their own party wall surveyor (which increases costs and timings significantly). Matthew addressed this by gaining a detailed understanding of the project and then speaking to each neighbour before serving notices. As a result of this early preparation, only 1 award was required with Matthew acting as the joint/agreed surveyor.

One tricky aspect was the construction of the flank wall of the extension, which ran alongside the neighbour’s rear extension. It was possible that the concrete had overspilled the boundary and would interfere with the proposed foundation. Matthew requested that the contractor to dig a trial pit to investigate and thankfully there was no overspill. The award required the foundation be dug in 1m sections (as opposed to all 4m all at once) and to incorporate a ‘slip membrane’ to stop the foundations bonding, both of which could have caused damage.

Shaun Blake who was my surveyor was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. He took time to examine my property and produce a very detailed and informative report. I will definitely use 'Peter Barry ' in future and will have no problem recommending the company to others.

Excellent service!

We booked a survey with Peter Barry Surveyors for the purchase of a home. Maianh was very quick to respond to our initial email and all follow up conversations. They also set us up with a pre-survey phone call with David Breeze (surveyor) who took the time to explain how the survey is conducted. They arranged access to the property directly with the realtor, and we received the report 4 working days later, after which we had another call with David to discuss the report and explained to us what the next steps were. We are now in the process of conducting the specialist surveys (with other companies) as per their recommendation.

Very helpful, very friendly, and professional.
Response from the owner:Thank you very much for your excellent review! We are delighted that you found our team to be helpful, friendly, and professional throughout the process, and I will certainly share your comments with Maianh and David. Thank you for choosing Peter Barry Surveyors!
