Party Wall Services
Professional Party Wall Surveyors in Thanet and Kent
At Geoff Oliver & Associates Ltd, we provide professional Party Wall services for property owners, neighbours and developers across Thanet and the wider Kent area. If you are planning building work that affects a shared wall, boundary or structure, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 may apply. This legislation is designed to protect both property owners carrying out work and adjoining neighbours whose property may be affected.
Our experienced Chartered Surveyors provide clear guidance on the requirements of the Act and assist with the formal procedures needed to ensure the work is carried out lawfully and fairly. By managing the Party Wall process correctly from the outset, potential disputes can often be avoided and construction work can proceed smoothly.
Our Party Wall Services
Party Wall matters can arise in a range of building projects, including extensions, loft conversions, structural alterations, excavation works near neighbouring buildings, and work to shared walls between properties. In these situations, property owners may be required to serve formal Party Wall notices to adjoining owners before work begins.
At Geoff Oliver & Associates Ltd, we assist with the preparation and service of Party Wall notices and provide professional advice to both building owners and adjoining owners regarding their rights and responsibilities under the legislation. Where required, we can act as a Party Wall Surveyor to ensure that the process is handled correctly and impartially.
Contact UsParty Wall Awards and Schedules of Condition
Where neighbours do not consent to proposed works, surveyors may be appointed to prepare a Party Wall Award, which is a legally binding document setting out how and when the work will be carried out. The award also includes provisions designed to protect neighbouring properties during construction.
As part of this process, our surveyors may prepare a Schedule of Condition, which records the current condition of the adjoining property before work begins. This provides a clear record should any concerns arise regarding damage during construction.
