Partywall Surveys

When proposing a side or rear extension, it will likely be within 3 metres of the boundary. In this case, you will need a party wall agreement with your neighbours, possibly on both sides. We work closely with Chartered Surveyors who can manage this process. They will liaise with neighbours, conduct Party Wall Surveys, and draft the necessary Party Wall Agreements to meet legal requirements.

If you need recommendations, we can suggest 2-3 firms that our clients have successfully used. Simply let us know, and we will provide their details. Additionally, we can obtain 2-3 quotes on your behalf if requested.

A Party Wall Surveyor is essential if you receive a Party Structure Notice, Line of Junction Notice, or Notice of Adjacent Excavation. This Surveyor will represent your interests and ensure that your property and boundary are fully protected. They will also respond to any notices appropriately.

Surveyors can also assist with other services such as licences for alteration, defect diagnosis, and contract administration for renovation projects. Additionally, they handle pre-acquisition surveys, stock condition surveys, and planned maintenance programmes.

For competitive and professional services, we know the right companies to recommend. Fees generally range from £600 to £1200, depending on the number of neighbours and site constraints.

Furthermore, 4D Planning can recommend other specialists, including Structural Engineers, Approved Building Control Inspectors, Electricians, Plumbers, Daylight/Sunlight Surveyors, Environmental Specialists, Project Managers, and Builders. All our recommended firms are insured and have extensive experience. However, we advise clients to conduct their own due diligence, as 4D Planning cannot assume responsibility for other firms.
