DO YOU NEED A PARTY WALL surveyor EPSOM?

A party wall agreement is a legal document that outlines the rights and obligations of neighbors who share a boundary wall.

What is a Party Wall Agreement?

If you’re planning to remove a chimney breast, you may need a party wall agreement if:

The chimney breast is attached to a shared wall between two properties.
The chimney breast is within 3 meters of your neighbor’s property.
The chimney breast is within 6 meters of your neighbor’s property and sits on your property’s foundation.

If any of these criteria apply, you’ll need to obtain a party wall agreement to ensure that your neighbor’s rights are protected during the project.

Do You Need a Party Wall Agreement?

Obtaining a party wall agreement has several advantages, including:

Legal Protection: A party wall agreement can provide legal protection and ensure that you’re not infringing on your neighbor’s rights during the project.
