Party Wall Surveyors Birmingham
If you are planning building work in Birmingham, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 may require you to serve notice on adjoining owners before work begins. PWS West Midlands can guide you through the process and help you avoid unnecessary delay or dispute.
Party wall advice for Birmingham property owners
We assist building owners with party wall notices, schedules of condition and Party Wall Awards. We can act as your appointed surveyor or, where both owners agree, as the agreed surveyor. Our aim is to make sure notices are valid, the neighbouring property is properly recorded and any Award is prepared promptly.
Typical projects include loft conversions, rear and side extensions, work to shared walls, chimney-breast removal and excavation close to a neighbouring building. If you are unsure whether your proposed work falls within the Act, contact us before construction starts.
Help for adjoining owners
If a neighbour has served you with a party wall notice, we can explain what it means and advise you on the available response options. Where a surveyor’s appointment is necessary, the building owner carrying out the work will normally be responsible for reasonable surveyors’ fees.
A schedule of condition records the relevant parts of the neighbouring property before work begins. This provides a clear reference if concerns arise during or after the project.
