Party Walls

B2 Chartered Building Surveyors specialise in Party Wall awards.

The Party Wall Act 1996 is to facilitate building and construction work in crowded environments. It attempts to balance the interests of both the developer and the adjoining building owner and its occupiers. It is designed to regulate the exercise of certain common law rights and makes there exercise subject to conditions.

London B2 Chartered Building Surveyors can receive instruction from the Building Owner (where the works are being done) or the Adjoining owner (next to the works being done), and in some cases if with agreement of both parties can represent both parties.

If you think you or your neighbour might need an award for any works please give us a call to discuss.

Building Survey in London

The Building Survey is a detailed investigation and assessment of the construction and condition of a building. The survey generally includes the structure, fabric, finishes and grounds, and will include reference to visible defects and appropriate guidance on repair.

Advice regarding the maintenance forecast for the building is also included for more accurate consideration of the potential liabilities attached to the purchase of the property.

The property's commercial use means that emphasis is placed on suitability for purpose, security, fire precautions, state of repair etc. and it can be incorporated as part of a wider Pre-Acquisition Report or Feasibility Study.

The survey will normally incorporate the building's structure, fabric, finishes, outbuildings and grounds, and includes the surveyor's unbiased, balanced professional opinion in the detail and style required by the client, with reference to visible defects and guidance (as appropriate) on maintenance and remedial measures.
