Party Wall Awards

Are you considering extending your property? Then please chat with Karena regarding a Party Wall Agreement which includes an Award and schedule of conditions.

A Party Wall Award will protect you as the Building Owner and the Adjoining Owner from scrupulous damage claims.

Karena works hard to make this as smooth a process as possible to prevent and resolve disputes in relation to party walls, boundaries and excavations near to neighbouring buildings.

Advice

Party Wall surveyors provide impartial advice and services related to the Party Wall Act. The main role is to facilitate consent and agreement between adjoining property owners for any construction works involving party walls or shared boundaries.

I offer an open, transparent service and look to work with other Party Wall surveyors in an amicable manner to ensure work is completed and property is protected correctly.

  • I have trained with the Pyramus and Thisbe Society since 2017.
  • I am regulated by the RICS.
  • Carry out regular continuing professional development

I can carry out the work as any of the below depending on your needs/requirements:

Agreed Party Wall Surveyor

Working for both the Building Owner and the Adjoinng Owner. This is often the most preferred method as the Party Wall Surveyor that is appointed is required to act impartially regardless of who has appointed him/her.

Building Party Wall Surveyor

Works for the Building Owner property when the Adjoining Owner has their own surveyor.

Adjoining Party Wall Surveyor

Works for the Adjoining Owner property.

Fees

Fees are paid for by the Building Owner for surveyors though in very rare occasions, costs can be claimed against the Adjoining Owner for abortive visits for example.
