Faulkner Surveyors – Specialists in Party Wall Building Works Beaconsfield
At Faulkner Surveyors, we’ve earned a reputation for providing professional, approachable, and reliable services across Beaconsfield. Here’s how we help property owners and neighbors alike:
1. Serving Valid and Accurate Party Wall Notices
The first step under the Act is serving a party wall notice to adjoining property owners, informing them of your proposed works. While this sounds straightforward, the details matter. Notices must include specific information about your project, timelines, and their right to respond. An inaccurate or incomplete notice can invalidate the process, setting your timeline back.
We take care of preparation and service of notices, ensuring they meet legal requirements and avoid unnecessary disputes. Whether you need guidance on this step or a full service, we’re here to make sure the process is smooth and stress-free.
2. Party Wall Agreements (Awards)
If your neighbor objects to your excavation work or raises concerns about the responsibilities of each party regarding the requirements of the party wall and party fence wall etc., which may involve different owners and the shared wall as part of a building situated on one owner’s land, this triggers the need for a party wall award within a clear legal framework.
This legally binding agreement covers every aspect of the proposed excavation work, including provisions to protect both parties and reduce the risk of damage to the adjoining owner’s property, as well as addressing any concerns related to party structures.
At Faulkner Surveyors, we act impartially to produce fair and balanced awards. Our expertise ensures each agreement safeguards you from potential challenges while addressing your neighbor’s concerns thoroughly.
3. Pre-Work Property Condition Surveys
Before construction begins, we conduct detailed condition surveys to document the state of adjoining or nearby properties. This record serves as a crucial reference should there be claims of damage later. We provide comprehensive photographic and written documentation, creating clarity for everyone involved.
4. Resolving Disputes and Maintaining Neighborly Relations
Beaconsfield’s tight-knit community values good neighbor relations, and we do too. Construction projects can cause friction, but our professional handling goes beyond legal requirements to foster constructive communication. From explaining the implications of proposed works to addressing specific concerns, our surveyors mediate to find amicable solutions.
