Are your neighbours planning building works?

---

Are your neighbours planning work? Has a planning application been made that affects you? or have been served notice under the Party Wall etc Act?  Is the information provided inadequate or confusing? Are you concerned over the potential risk of damage to your property, your safety, security and privacy? If so please contact me to discuss your concerns and how I might assist you.

If you have been served notice under the Party Wall etc Act, it is your right to appoint your own Surveyor to represent you and under the Party Wall etc Act 1996 Act the building owner (your neighbour) will be responsible for your appointed Party Wall surveyor’s reasonable fee. If you do dissent to the Party Wall Notice and appoint your own Party Wall surveyor, then their role is to administer the Party Wall etc Act 1996 and ensure that your property is fully protected.  

Concerned over you relationship with your neighbour? You should note that dissenting to your neighbours notice is not dissenting to your neighbours project but requesting that a written agreement (An Award) is put in place which includes a survey of your property to capture the condition prior to works commencing and safe guard your interests. The impact of any proposals may include longer terms concerns long after the works have been completed and may involve reviews by other professionals.

I will be happy to provide you with an initial no obligation and cost free consultation - please get in touch here.
