Our Services

Free Advice Helpline: 01293 343050

Our team of experienced professionals understands the intricacies of the Party Wall Act and its implications for all parties involved. Whether you are a homeowner planning a renovation, a developer undertaking a construction project, a contractor working on a neighbouring property, or a professional in the industry seeking guidance, our advice can help you navigate the complexities of the Act. Our free advice helpline offers a convenient resource for anyone seeking information on the Party Wall Act. Our experts are skilled at translating the sometimes-convoluted legal language into clear and simple terms, ensuring that you fully comprehend your rights and obligations under the Act. Common questions such as whether a Party Wall Agreement is necessary and who is responsible for covering the costs are addressed with clarity. We go beyond the basics, addressing more complex legal queries (when required) relating to the Act and providing comprehensive guidance. 

 

Party Wall Appraisals and Consultations:

Our team of Party Wall Surveyors in Crawley provide a comprehensive review and assessment of the drawings provided by your architects and structural engineers. Through this process, we aim to determine the obligations of your project under the Party Wall Act. In many cases, we can identify areas where improvements can be made by utilising your rights under the Act. In addition, we regularly review Party Wall Notices to ensure they are valid and compliant, covering all the proposed works. This step is crucial in helping you make informed decisions, such as whether to consent to a Party Wall Notice. It is worth noting that a significant number of Party Wall Notices we come across, which have been served by homeowners, architects, and other construction professionals, are either invalid or do not account for all the proposed works. If a Party Wall Notice is not valid or fails to cover all the works, you may not be adequately protected by the Party Wall Act.

 

Service of Party Wall Notices:

Our team is experienced in handling all aspects of Party Wall matters. We understand the importance of following the proper procedures and ensuring compliance with the Act. One  of the key steps in the Party Wall process is the issuance of Party Wall Notices. Our team will carefully draft and serve these notices to all relevant parties. We make sure that the notices are valid and contain all the necessary information required by law. Once the notices are served, negotiations may need to take place to reach an agreement between the parties involved. Our experts are skilled in these negotiations and can help you navigate through any disputes or disagreements that may arise. By letting our expert team handle the paperwork and legal aspects of your Party Wall matters, you can focus on your construction project with confidence, knowing that everything is being taken care of by professionals.

 

Party Wall Surveys (aka Schedules of Condition):

Our team of surveyors at BTN specialises in conducting schedules of condition on neighbouring properties before any construction or renovation works take place. Our surveyors are highly knowledgeable and experienced in this field, ensuring that the reports we provide are comprehensive and accurate. The purpose of these schedules is to create a legal record of the condition of neighbouring properties prior to the commencement of any works. This record plays a crucial role in validating any claims of damage that may arise during or after the construction or renovation process. It helps in determining the extent of the damage and assigning responsibility for any necessary repairs. We use damp meters and 4k drones to capture detailed images of all areas that may be affected by the works, providing a comprehensive record of the condition. Our goal at BTN Surveyors is to deliver accurate and reliable schedules of condition, helping to prevent any disputes and providing peace of mind for all parties involved. 

 

Preparing Party Wall Awards:

We understand a lot of projects are time-sensitive projects and strive to deliver Party Wall Awards in the most efficient way possible with the utmost care and attention. We can handle any size or complexity of project. As the Building Owners Surveyor, we will prepare a comprehensive Party Wall Award that outlines the rights and responsibilities of all parties involved. We can also act as the Adjoining Owners Surveyor, or as the Agreed Surveyor if all parties agree. Our goal is to streamline the process and facilitate efficient communication between all parties. This can expedite the resolution and provide a cost-effective solution for all involved.

 

Scaffold and Access Licences:

A scaffold and access licence is a legal agreement that provides clarity and protection for those involved in the installation and use of scaffolding on a neighbouring property.  This licence can also protect the property owner from any potential damages or liabilities that may arise from the use of the scaffolding. It can outline responsibilities for maintenance and repairs. The licence may also include provisions for compensation or fees to be paid by the party requiring access to the neighbour's property. By having a scaffold and access licence in place, both parties can have peace of mind knowing that their rights and interests are protected. It provides a legal framework for the use of the scaffolding and ensures that both parties are aware of their rights and responsibilities. This can help prevent potential conflicts or misunderstandings down the line.
