Our Services

 

Free Advice Helpline: 01273 380 358

We are proud to offer expert consultation and guidance on the Party Wall Act for homeowners, developers, contractors, architects, structural engineers, lawyers, and even other surveyors. We offer a free consultation hotline where we can explain the Party Wall Act in plain language, answer commonly asked questions such as “Do I need a Party Wall Agreement?”, “Who pays for a Party Wall Agreement”, and answer more complex legal questions about the rights and responsibilities under the Party Wall Act.

 

Party Wall Appraisals and Consultations:

Our Party Wall Surveyors in Worthing are experienced in reviewing and assessing the drawings provided by architects and structural engineers. By doing this, we can determine your obligations under the Party Wall Act and identify any potential areas for improvement, utilising your rights under the Act.

 

In addition to this, we regularly evaluate Party Wall Notices to ensure their validity and compliance, as well as their coverage of all proposed works. This is an important step in deciding whether or not to consent to a Party Wall Notice. It is worth noting that the majority of Party Wall Notices we review, submitted by homeowners, architects, and other construction professionals, are often found to be invalid or failing to account for all proposed works. If a Party Wall Notice is not valid or does not cover all the intended works, you may not be protected by the Party Wall Act.

 

Service of Party Wall Notices:

We handle all the required documentation for Party Wall matters. We can draft and serve Party Wall Notices as well as negotiating and preparing Party Wall Agreements. You may feel secure knowing that your construction project is being handled by a team of experts who make sure all legal requirements are followed.

 

Party Wall Surveys (aka Schedules of Condition):

Our team of experienced surveyors is available to conduct schedules of condition on the neighbouring properties before any construction or renovation works begin. These schedules of condition serve as legal records of the properties' condition prior to the commencement of the works. In case of any claims of damage, these records are referred to in order to validate the claim and determine the extent of the damage. This is an integral part of the process which provides protection to both parties involved.

 

At BTN Surveyors, we utilise the latest technology to ensure that we capture the most detailed schedules of condition possible. Our tools include damp meters and 4k drones, allowing us to record high-resolution images of all areas that may be affected by the works. This ensures that our reports are thorough and accurate, providing comprehensive documentation of the properties' condition before any potential damage occurs.

 

Preparing Party Wall Awards:

We understand the importance of a timely and efficient resolution, while ensuring that all parties involved are protected under the Party Wall Act.  Whether it is a simple homeowner extension or a complex commercial development, our surveyors have the expertise and experience to prepare and serve Party Wall Awards. We can act as the Building Owners Surveyor, Adjoining Owners Surveyor, or even as the Agreed Surveyor if all parties are in agreement.  Our goal is to provide a speedy resolution and ensure that all parties benefit from the full protection offered by the Party Wall Act. We take pride in our professionalism and dedication to serving the interests of all parties.  If you would like to appoint us to handle your property's interests, please don't hesitate to contact us. We would be delighted to assist you and ensure that your project proceeds smoothly while adhering to the requirements of the Party Wall Act.

 

Scaffold and Access Licences:

A scaffold and access licence is a legal agreement that sets out the rights and responsibilities of both parties involved in the placement of scaffolding on or over a neighbour’s property. It outlines the conditions under which the scaffold can be installed and used, as well as the obligations of the construction personnel who will be working on the project.  If someone requires access to someone else's land for construction purposes, it is important to have a professionally negotiated and binding licence in place. This licence ensures that both parties understand and agree to the terms of access, such as the duration, the scope of work, and any necessary safety measures.  For neighbours who may be affected by the placement of the scaffold, having a licence is crucial for protecting their property.
