I am planning building works

If you are building an extension, converting a loft, removing chimney breasts, inserting steel beams or excavating near a neighbouring property, you may need to serve a Party Wall Notice.

Party Wall Questions

Quick answers to common questions from Essex homeowners.

Do I need a Party Wall Notice?

You may need one if your works affect a shared wall, boundary line or involve excavation close to a neighbouring building.

How much does a Party Wall Notice cost?

Our fixed fee notice service is £150 + VAT for up to four adjoining owners.

What if my neighbour dissents?

A dissent does not usually stop the project. It means surveyors become involved and a Party Wall Award may be required.

Who pays the surveyor fees?

In most domestic cases, the Building Owner carrying out the works is responsible for reasonable Party Wall Surveyor fees.
