Party Wall Appraisals and Consultations:

Our Party Wall Surveyors in Brighton are skilled in examining and assessing the architectural plans and structural engineering documentation provided. In doing so, we can ascertain your responsibilities as outlined in the Party Wall Act and pinpoint any potential areas that could be improved upon, while also ensuring that your rights under the Act are utilised. Additionally, we routinely evaluate Party Wall Notices to confirm their validity and compliance, as well as the extent to which they cover all planned works. This is a crucial factor in deciding whether to grant consent to a Party Wall Notice. It is important to note that many of the Party Wall Notices that come our way, whether submitted by homeowners, architects, or other construction professionals, are often found to be invalid or do not adequately address all the proposed works. In such cases, if a Party Wall Notice is deemed invalid or fails to include all the intended works, your protection under the Party Wall Act may be compromised.

 

Service of Party Wall Notices:

We are here to assist with all the documentation and requirements in connection with Party Wall matters. We will draft and serve Party Wall Notices as well as negotiate and prepare Party Wall Agreements. Our aim is for you to feel confident that your construction project is being managed by a team of experts who make sure all legal requirements are followed.

 

Party Wall Surveys (aka Schedules of Condition):

At BTN Surveyors, we pride ourselves on our expertise and professionalism in conducting Schedules of Condition and inspections. We have years of experience in the field and are committed to delivering accurate and detailed reports to our clients. The inspections provide a legal record of the condition of the property before the works commence. Our goal is to provide peace of mind to both the property owners, adjoining owners and the contractors involved in the construction or renovation project. By having thorough and accurate records of the properties' condition before the works begin, any claims of damage can be properly validated and resolved.  With the use of advanced technology such as 4K drones, we can capture high-resolution images of the surrounding areas and closely inspect any potential areas of concern. This allows us to provide comprehensive documentation of the properties' condition, protecting all parties involved.

 

Preparing Party Wall Awards:

We understand the importance of a timely and efficient resolution, while ensuring that all parties involved are protected under the Party Wall Act.  Whether it is a simple homeowner extension or a complex commercial development, our surveyors have the expertise and experience to prepare and serve Party Wall Awards. We can act as the Building Owners Surveyor, Adjoining Owners Surveyor, or even as the Agreed Surveyor if all parties agree.  Our aim is to provide a prompt resolution and ensure that all parties benefit from the full protection offered by the Party Wall Act. We take pride in our professionalism and dedication to serving the interests of all parties.  

 

Scaffold and Access Licences:

A Scaffold and Access Licence is a legal agreement which outlines the rights and responsibilities of both parties involved in the placement of scaffolding on or over a neighbouring property. Without a Licence, the neighbour’s property owner may have limited legal recourse if any damage occurs because of the scaffolding placement. The Licence can also address issues such as liability and insurance coverage, ensuring that both parties are adequately protected in the event of any accidents or disputes. Additionally, having a legally binding agreement in place can help prevent misunderstandings or conflicts between the parties involved. Overall, a Scaffold and Access Licence provides clarity, protection, and peace of mind for all parties involved in the construction process.
