Before we dive into the details of party wall surveying, let’s clarify the difference between a party wall and a boundary wall. A party wall is a wall that stands on the land of two or more owners, and is used to separate different buildings or parts of a building that are owned by different people. Boundary walls, on the other hand, are walls that mark the boundary between two properties but are entirely on one owner’s land.
When it comes to building work that involves a party wall, the law requires that a surveyor is appointed to ensure that the work is carried out correctly and does not compromise the structural integrity of the wall. This is where a party wall surveyor comes in. A party wall surveyor is a professional who is appointed to act impartially between the building owner and the adjoining owner, and to adjudicate any disputes that might arise between them.
