At Faulkner Surveyors, we pride ourselves on delivering tailored advice for every client. Whether you are a property owner planning works or a neighbor concerned about potential impacts, we offer end-to-end solutions. Here’s how we assist with party wall building works in Camberley:
Comprehensive Party Wall Notices
The first step in party wall works in Woking involves notifying your neighbors, including your adjoining owner and neighbor, about your building plans as a building owner.
This may sound straightforward, but it must be done in a manner compliant with the Party Wall etc Act, and it is essential to include a schedule of condition, which involves creating detailed schedules of condition outlining the property’s state before any construction.
A party wall notice outlines key details of your proposed work, giving neighbors the chance to consent or raise concerns.
Our team ensures notices are drafted and served accurately, avoiding pitfalls that could otherwise lead to invalid notices or legal complications.
Party Wall Awards for Peace of Mind
If your neighbor doesn’t consent to your notice, don’t worry—this doesn’t mean your plans are dead in the water. It triggers the requirement for a party wall award, which is a legally binding agreement established by surveyors. It sets out the scope of the work, responsibilities, and protections in place for both parties.
Faulkner Surveyors acts as an impartial mediator in such scenarios, ensuring a fair and balanced award that protects everyone’s interests while allowing your project to progress.
Boundary and Condition Surveys
Before work begins, understanding the condition of your and your neighbor’s properties is key. Pre-construction condition surveys document the state of adjoining properties, providing a reference should there be disagreements over resulting damages. At Faulkner Surveyors, we carry out thorough inspections and photographic records to ensure clarity and transparency throughout.
Guidance on Complex Scenarios
Some projects, such as basement excavations or extensions close to neighboring boundaries, involve higher risks. Our expertise covers everything from handling sensitive neighbor relations to advising on structural precautions.
Camberley, with its mix of modern developments and older properties, presents diverse challenges. Whether you’re working on a Victorian terraced house or a modern semi-detached home, Faulkner Surveyors adapts our guidance to suit your property type.
