Party Wall Surveyors London Common questions
Planning a home extension? Our FAQ section addresses the key questions homeowners ask about structural engineering requirements, costs, timelines, and design processes to help you make informed decisions about your project.
Q. My Neighbour is Doing Building Works But Hasn't Served Notice
Your neighbour might be doing construction without serving formal papers. You have options. First, talk to them directly. They may not know about their legal duties under the legislation. If this doesn’t help, you can serve documentation. You can also seek advice about stopping the work.
Our London experts can check if ongoing work needs formal documentation. We advise on protecting your interests as a next door owner.
Q. I Started Construction But Need to Serve Documentation
Yes, stop immediately. Continuing without following rules can result in legal action and damage claims. The building owner should serve papers later. This depends on specific circumstances and matters involved.
Contact our London team immediately for urgent advice. We help regularize your position and minimize project delays.
Q. When Does The Act Apply to Construction?
The legislation applies to work in England and Wales. This affects shared walls, new boundary walls, or digging near next door properties. Specific triggers include cutting into a shared wall. This includes building on boundaries and digging within 3-6 meters of neighbouring buildings.
The legislation doesn’t apply in Scotland or Northern Ireland. These have different legal frameworks. Our London specialists can quickly assess whether your project needs formal steps and professional guidance.
Q. Construction Noise From Neighbour - Boundary Matters
The legislation doesn’t directly control noise. Awards typically include working hours and noise provisions. Your neighbour might have an award. Check they’re following agreed hours and methods.
For other noise issues not covered by the legislation, contact your local authority’s environmental health department. Our London team can also advise on noise-related boundary issues.
Q. Do I Have to Allow Contractors Access - Next Door Owner Rights
An award might grant access rights. You generally must allow reasonable access during agreed hours. You can require proper documentation, insurance coverage, and security measures. The award should specify access requirements and conditions.
Our London professionals ensure awards include appropriate access provisions. These balance construction needs with property owners’ rights and security concerns.
Q. Why Should I Appoint a Surveyor for Construction?
Appointing an experienced surveyor protects your interests. This applies throughout the survey process. You might be the building owner or next door owner. Professional representation ensures your rights are protected. Steps get followed correctly.
Our experienced London team have technical expertise. We assess construction impacts. We negotiate appropriate protections and ensure legislation compliance. The cost of professional service is typically far outweighed by the protection provided.
Q. Can Construction Start Before the Award?
No. Construction work covered by the legislation cannot start until next door owners consent. It cannot start until an award is agreed and served. Starting work prematurely can result in legal action. This causes significant complications to your matters.
Planning ahead and allowing sufficient time for the process is essential. This avoids project delays. Our London service helps ensure proper timing.
Q. What if My Neighbour Won't Pay Surveyor Costs?
You might be a next door owner whose surveyor fees haven’t been paid by the building owner. Contact them directly with formal payment demand. If this fails, pursue through debt recovery or seek legal advice.
Our London specialists assist with cost recovery. We provide detailed reports supporting claims for reasonable surveyor fees. We act on behalf of affected owners.
