Consent. The first thing you can do is give your OK for the proposed works. If the adjoining owner is happy about what the party wall notice says. They just sign it and send it back to the building owner. This lets the building owner start the works as planned.
Dissent and appoint an agreed surveyor. If the adjoining owner does not agree with the works or is worried. They can say no and help choose one agreed surveyor. In this case. Both the building owner and the adjoining owner pick the same surveyor together. This surveyor looks at the proposed works and writes a party wall award. The surveyor also makes sure the works follow this award and that the adjoining property has as little bother as possible.
Dissent and appoint separate surveyors. If the adjoining owner dissents and does not want to use the same surveyor. They can each pick their own. The building owner gets a surveyor. And the adjoining owner does, too. Both surveyors then work together to create a party wall award that says how the works should be done.
No response. If the adjoining owner does not answer the party wall notice after 14 days. The building owner must send another letter. If there is still no answer. It will count as if the adjoining owner dissents.
