We recently acted as a Party Wall Surveyor for an adjoining owner, in Newbury, Berkshire.
The works being undertaken by the next door neighbour included an extension to the rear of the building and some cutting in and weathering of the Party Wall.
The owner that we acted for was concerned that their second floor flat may be affected by the works. We checked that the Party Wall notice that had been issued was valid, contacted the building owners surveyor and liaised with them to confirm the method and approach to which works affecting the Party Wall should be undertaken. In addition we took a schedule of condition of the property prior to the works commencing.
We have now issued an Award and works are underway. Our final piece of involvement should be to attend site once works have been completed to ensure they have been undertaken satisfactorily and have not affected our appointing owner’s property.
If you have a Party Wall enquiry or have been served with Notice under the Party Wall Act, please contact us on 01635 579208 or by using the contact form. We will be happy to act on your behalf.
