Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a notice for an extension?
Often, yes, where foundations are close to and deeper than a neighbouring building or where a new wall is proposed at the boundary.
Can my neighbour stop the work?
A dissent does not normally prevent lawful work. It starts the surveyor process so appropriate safeguards can be agreed.
How early should I act?
Contact us as soon as drawings are available. Statutory notice periods and neighbour responses need to be allowed for.
Who usually pays?
For works benefiting the Building Owner, that owner usually pays the reasonable Party Wall costs.
