1. Expert Guidance from Start to Finish
Whether you’re unsure if your project falls under the Party Wall etc. Act or you’re looking for advice on the next steps, we begin with clear, practical guidance to ensure the best user experience. With years of experience managing the intricacies of party wall building works in St Ives, we help you understand your legal responsibilities and how to fulfill them seamlessly with St Ives surveyors.
2. Drafting and Serving Party Wall Notices
For any building project, properly serving a party wall notice is a fundamental first step. This notice informs adjoining owners of your planned work and outlines the scope of what you intend to do. Faulkner Surveyors handles this process with precision, ensuring notices are accurate, compliant, and served in a timely manner.
3. Representing Adjoining Property Owners
If you’re on the receiving end of a party wall notice, we represent neighbouring property owners’ interests. Our surveyors review the proposed work, identify potential risks, and raise any necessary concerns. This independent representation ensures your property and interests are protected from unwelcome impacts.
4. Comprehensive Party Wall Agreements
For many projects, a formal party wall award is required. This legally binding document defines the rights and responsibilities of all parties involved. A chartered surveyor from Faulkner Surveyors drafts these agreements, including the recording of condition, schedules of condition, and dilapidations, to ensure they are thorough, fair, and in line with the protocol of the Party Wall Acts, fully compliant with the law.
5. Independent Dispute Resolution
Construction projects often carry the risk of disagreements, but with Faulkner Surveyors acting as impartial professionals, conflicts can be resolved effectively. Our balanced approach ensures equitable outcomes for both property owners purchasing their new home, allowing projects to proceed without unnecessary friction, even if there are significant defects present and when making an informed final decision based on a professional survey report regarding the purchase price.
5. Pre-Construction Condition Surveys
Before any work begins, we conduct in-depth inspections of adjoining properties to document their condition. These condition schedules provide a baseline, reducing the risk of disputes over damages that may (or may not) arise during construction.
6. Local Expertise in St-Ives
Every locality has its own set of challenges and quirks. Faulkner Surveyors’ familiarity with St-Ives and the surrounding area means we’re not just bringing expertise in party walls—we’re also bringing expert witness reports, property valuations, and knowledge of local planning norms, architectural styles, and neighborhood concerns.
Our services are available throughout the week, including at our enquiry desk for email form enquiries on Sunday, and we are closed on Bank Holidays, ensuring we are here to assist you when you need us.
