FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
​
MY NEIGHBOUR HAS NOT SERVED ME WITH A PARTY WALL NOTICE, WHAT DO I DO?
​
Don't worry, if you are wondering whether a party wall notice should have been served, providing no work has started, you can contact us and we will review what information is available and if their project includes notifiable works then we will write to them on your behalf (for a small fee) and take it from there.
​
CAN I STOP MY NEIGHBOURS PROJECT?
​
You cannot stop your neighbour's project by simply not responding to a notice. If this happens then the Act allows your neighbour to appoint another Surveyor on your behalf so that a Party Wall Award can be served.
WHO WILL PAY THE FEES?
​
Most of the time, the Surveyors fees are covered by the Building Owner (the neighbour having the work done). The cost of chosing to go with your own Appointed Surveyor will usually be higher than that of an Agreed Surveyor. However, if your own Appointed Surveyor is deemed to be carrying out his role in an unreasonable or incompetent manner thereby slowing down the process, that could result in additional costs or expense being passed on to you.
​
IS IT OK IF I BUILD ONTO MY NEIGHBOUR’S PARTY WALL?
If you are planning a project of your own and you think you might use the new wall constructed by your neighbour, then you will have to pay an agreed amount for the right to do this. Communication and timing are really important for both of you, so have a talk through their project and see if an adjustment can be made to benefit you in the future.
