Party Wall Advice

 

The Party Wall Act 1996 provides an alternative to costly court actions to prevent and resolve issues when building work involves party walls or excavating near neighbouring buildings. Party walls cover a range of scenarios as explained in the explanatory pdf documents on this page.

 

The Act gives a procedure to be followed using Surveyors representing the Building Owner and Adjoining owner to reach agreement at a significantly lower cost than using courts.

 

The Harrower Partnership approach is to offer a cost effective and straightforward solution using plain language rather than legalese so you can understand every step of the process, whether we represent the Building owner or the Adjoining owner(s).

 

Our solution offers:

 

• Up to 30 minutes of telephone advice free of charge to understand your situation and propose options to address the situation.

 

• For straightforward requirements we can offer a fixed price solution.

 

• For more complex requirements we will tell you upfront the likely costs and review these with you as the process is underway.

 

• For issue of the Notices required under the act a fixed price of £150 per notice per Adjoining owner, with discounts for multiple notices.
