    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do I need a party wall surveyor? +
    Well, if you are planning to build something new or renovate the previous project near or on the party wall or fence, then you are prone to get a party wall surveyor to obtain a party wall award.
    How long does a party wall award take? +
    It usually takes 4 to 8 weeks (approx 2 months), so if you are planning to make any changes to the boundary wall, you must start a few months early so your project completes on time. It also depends on neighbour cooperation, with faster turnarounds possible (a few weeks) if consent is given quickly, or up to 3 months if there are disagreements.
    Who pays the party wall surveyor fees? +
    In most cases, the building owner (the person initiating the building work) is responsible for paying the party wall surveyor's fees.
    Can I start work without serving notice? +
    No, starting work without proper notice can lead to legal disputes, delays, or even injunctions.
    Do you cover all London boroughs? +
    Yes, we provide party wall advice and surveyor services across all London boroughs, supporting both residential and commercial projects.
