Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about party wall agreements and the Party Wall Act 1996

Do I need a party wall agreement for a loft conversion?
Yes, most loft conversions in terraced or semi-detached houses require a party wall agreement. If you're cutting into the party wall to insert steel beams, raising the height of the party wall, or working near the boundary, you must serve a party wall notice under Section 2 of the Party Wall Act 1996.
How much does a party wall surveyor cost in London?
Party wall surveyor costs in London typically range from £700 to £1,500 for a standard party wall award. Complex cases like basement excavations may cost more. The building owner normally pays the fees for both their surveyor and the adjoining owner's surveyor.
What happens if my neighbour ignores my party wall notice?
If your adjoining owner doesn't respond to a party wall notice within 14 days, they're deemed to be in dispute. At this point, both parties must appoint a party wall surveyor (or agree on one surveyor) to prepare a party wall award resolving the dispute.
Can I start work before the party wall award is served?
No, you cannot start work covered by the Party Wall Act until the party wall award has been served and any notice periods have expired. Starting work early is unlawful and could result in an injunction stopping your building work.
What's the difference between a building owner and an adjoining owner?
The building owner is the person planning the building work. The adjoining owner is the neighbour whose property shares the party wall or is close to the excavation. The Party Wall Act protects the rights of adjoining owners whilst giving building owners certain rights to carry out necessary work.
Do I need a schedule of condition?
A schedule of condition is highly recommended for any party wall matter. It provides photographic evidence of the condition of the adjoining property before works commence, protecting both parties if damage claims arise during or after the building work.
