Party Wall Matters


Angell Thompson & Partners Ltd are able to offer a comprehensive Party Wall service to domestic and commercial clients using our in-house Chartered Building Surveyors and Structural Engineers who have wide ranging experience in Party Wall matters

Statutory Legislation;
The introduction of the Party Wall Act 1996 extended legislation, previously confined to the Inner London Boroughs, to cover all areas. All Building Owners proposing to undertake works to a Party Wall or carry out excavations in close proximity to an adjacent property are now required to serve notice on the owner of the adjoining property.

The Surveyors Role;
The role of the Party Wall Surveyor is to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Act, whether appointed by the Building Owners or the Adjoining Owners. Our experienced Surveyors and Engineers are able to act for either party and have expert knowledge of all matters arising under the Act. We offer a pro-active approach to ensure that wherever possible this legislation does not delay contracts. We also have the major benefit of being able to draw upon the experience of our in-house Chartered Structural Engineers to fully appraise technical issues.
