Appoint a Building Owners Surveyor
When correct notices are served we generally hope that appointing surveyors is not necessary, but this is not always the case.
When a dispute arrises and your neighbour "dissents" to the works set out in the party wall notice then you will need to appoint a party wall surveyor. BTN Surveyors are on hand to ensure that an appropriate award or a neighbourly agreement is reached in the quickest possible timescale, allowing your project to get underway whilst maintaining neighbourly relations
Appoint an Agreed Surveyor
Being a Specialist firm of Party Wall Surveyors and members of the Faculty of Party Wall Surveyors, BTN Surveyors are often appointed as "Agreed" surveyors.
An "Agreed" Surveyor under the Party Wall Act is one that has been agreed by both the building owner wishing to carry out works and the neighbouring owner wishing to ensure the risk of damage by the works is kept to a minimum. Short of reaching an agreement without the need for a Surveyor this is our preferred route as its the most cost effective solution for the building owner.
