Property Surveys and Party Wall Advice in Vauxhall

We’ve been resolving party wall disputes in Vauxhall since 2007. Whether we are dealing with the removal of a chimney breast that backs on to a party wall or a double storey basement extension, our focus is on finding a fair balance between the building owner’s desire to complete their works as quickly as possible and the need to minimise risk and inconvenience to adjoining owners.

If you are about to buy your first Vauxhall property you can also take advantage the experience of our team of Chartered Surveyors can offer. We can provide a range of pre-purchase surveys but the best way to decide which one best suits your needs is to call us on the number above for an initial consultation.

Other examples of services available from our surveying team include snagging lists (if you are buying a new property in Vauxhall), lease extension advice and project management.

Recent Activity in Vauxhall SW8

It’s often the case that very large building projects give rise to relatively few party wall matters. If a site is large, it’s more likley to be bordered by roads on 2 or 3 sides therefore making it less likely that there will be buildings within 6 metres.

That was the case with a site in Vauxhall where works have recently been completed which had roads on 3 sides and an elevated rail line on the other. Our Director, Justin Burns, notified Network Rail on behalf of the developer who dissented and appointed their own surveyor. The condition of the railway arches was recorded and an award agreed in respect of the excavation which included 2 subterranean levels.

Although it was not a requirement, we also scheduled the condition of the adjacent roads, a car park at one end of the site and the facades of some buildings on the opposite side of the roads surrounding the site.

About Vauxhall

Vauxhall is situated in the London Borough of Lambeth; just across the river from Westminster on the South Bank and north-east of Battersea.

The most interesting family attraction in the area is Vauxhall City Farm on Tyers Street. What started as a protest against the lack of community involvement in the development of the area has become a thriving visitor attraction. Furry residents include alpacas, chinchillas and rabbits amongst over 100 animals. The farm, which is still run by local volunteers, also houses a riding centre, various youth projects and a cafe.

James Bond fans will be aware that the headquarters of the Secret Intelligence Service are located in the area, next to Vauxhall Bridge. The SIS Building has featured in several episodes of the franchise including Skyfall (2012) and Spectre (2015). Unfortunately, no visitor tours are available.

Vauxhall Railway Station is at the intersection between the Victoria Line and South West Main Line (first stop for trains leaving Waterloo) and is adjacent to a large bus station.

The team at Peter Barry were professional, timely, and thorough. They were also very accommodating at supporting us above and beyond what the job entailed. I'd recommend using them again for any party wall agreements or schedule of conditions.
Cameron at Peter Barry Surveyors provided an excellent service throughout our PWA process with our neighbours. He was very responsive, kept me informed at every stage, and explained everything clearly in a way that was easy to understand. His professional approach and reassuring manner gave me confidence from start to finish. I really appreciated the time he took to answer my questions and ensure I understood the process. I would highly recommend Cameron and Peter Barry Surveyors to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and professional surveyor.
We used Peter Barry for a Party Wall Agreement. Highly recommended. Excellent service from start to finish. We had overlooked need for PWA, and needed urgent help. James Merewether could not have been more helpful: explaining what had to be done (more than AI had told me!), and promptly responding to our various calls and emails to get the initial notice served quickly. He then did the condition survey, wrote it up promptly, liaised with the neighbour’s surveyor despite James being on holiday, and then served the Final Award. A pleasure to deal with a true professional.
Another excellent service provided by Callum and Peter Barry. From start to finish, communication was outstanding, with regular updates and clear explanations throughout the entire process. Callum works exceptionally hard and goes above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly. What can often be a complicated and stressful process was made incredibly simple thanks to his knowledge, professionalism, and attention to detail. He was always available to answer questions, responded promptly, and made sure we understood every step along the way. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Callum to anyone looking for a reliable, efficient, and highly professional party wall surveyor. Thank you again for another excellent service.
