Party Wall Surveyor covering Exeter, Taunton, Yeovil and throughout Somerset

Party Wall Surveyor covering Exeter, Taunton and Somerset

A party wall is a structure which separates adjoining buildings, or a free-standing wall
 which sits astride the boundary between two adjoining properties. 

The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 was created to minimise potential disputes between neighbours. It allows homeowners to carry out work on or next to a shared wall, whilst also protecting the interests of anyone else who might be affected by that work.

Alex Rosen can act as Party Wall Surveyor for either a building or an adjoining owner or as an agreed surveyor for both parties.

Alex Rosen is a member of the Pyramus & Thisbe Club, the leading specialist organisation for party wall professionals.

Party Wall Award

Before carrying out work covered by the Act, the agreement of the adjoining owner(s) must be obtained. We can issue statutory notices to the adjoining owner(s) on the client’s behalf. If agreement cannot be reached between the owners, both parties each appoint their own surveyor(s) or jointly appoint an agreed surveyor, to determine a fair and impartial party wall award. The owner who is carrying out the work normally pays the surveyor’s fees.
