Party Wall Awards

 
 

At Frontier Architecture Ltd we are vastly experienced in dealing with all types of Party Wall Matters and have worked with homeowners, local authorities and developers in dealing with the Party Wall process and providing Party Wall Awards in a considerate and time efficient manner.

We understand that The Party Wall Award process can sometimes seem stressful and expensive and can sometimes cause concern amongst neighbours. At Frontier Architecture Ltd we are keen to make the process as time and cost efficient as possible and are happy to consult with all parties to attend to any concerns.

The Party Wall Act 1996 relates to any building work that includes:

  • New building on or at the boundary of 2 properties

  • Work to an existing party wall or party structure including extensions and loft conversions.

  • Excavation near to and below the foundation level of neighbouring buildings.

  • Building a new wall on or at the boundary of 2 properties

  • Cutting into a party wall and installation of steels into a party wall.

  • Making a party wall taller, shorter or deeper

  • Removing chimney breasts from a party wall

  • Knocking down and rebuilding a party wall

  • Digging below the foundation level of a neighbour’s property

The Party Wall Award process must be completed 8 weeks prior to the commencement of works.

Our service can include representation for one or all parties involved and whether we represent someone on a singular basis or act as a joint surveyor for all involved parties our fees do not increase. This enables the Party Wall Award to be completed in a timely and cost efficient manner with everyone’s properties being considered and enabling the building works to proceed on time.

In order to adhere to The Party Wall Act Frontier Architecture Ltd will carry out the following works on behalf of our clients:

  • Issuing of relevant Party Wall Notices.

  • Liasing with all parties to answer any queries raised.

  • Carrying out a Schedule of Condition on affected properties.

  • Formation and publication of The Party Wall Award.

Our fee for this service starts from £650 + VAT and Party Wall Awards can be completed within 2 weeks from Frontier Architecture being appointed.
