Wanted recommendations for a Party wall surveyor


Katiesa

Recommended Posts

Hi,

We are set to do a kitchen extension this year and although I'm new to the world of extensions! I believe as well as needing an architect to do the drawings of the kitchen we need a Surveyor to draw up the party wall agreement. Has anyone just used one they can recommend? Do you know how this process works and the approximate cost?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Hi


Your Architect should really advise you on this, (we normally advise our clients of the process and prepare the party wall notice letters etc.) but it is all explained here: https://www.gov.uk/government/upoads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/35796/party_wall_guide-new-p35.pdf.

Costs can vary. If your neighbours do not contest the work then you do not need to form a party wall agreement and so there should be no requirement for a surveyor or associated costs. If they do costs can vary, depending on how many neighbours are involved and what surveyor they choose to use. If you end up having to deal with a surveyor or surveyors I would budget about ?1000 per neighbour involved.


Hope that helps

I would be happy to recommend nick Stockley at design squared, they are a local company and thoroughly decent.


We live in ED and they guided us through a side return extension from start to finish. I honestly don't know where we would have been without them. This was especially the case with a less than helpful neighbour when it came to the party wall agreement! They also stuck to the price though I have no doubt it took a lot more time than expected.


Hope this helps and happy to show you what we ended up with if it would help.

    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA! 
    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
