Party Wall Resolution

Party Wall Resolution is a London-based firm offering expert Party Wall Surveying and Building Consulting services under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. They handle everything from serving notices and creating schedules of condition to resolving complex disputes with fixed-fee pricing. Their team of chartered surveyors aims to deliver swift, legally compliant, and impartial solutions for both building owners and adjoining owners.

The business covers North London, Hertfordshire, Essex, and the surrounding counties, with a specific address at 292 Willow Rd in Enfield. They serve homeowners, landlords, property developers, builders, and contractors who need assistance with party wall matters. Their services include preparing notices, conducting surveys, issuing awards, and handling neighbour disputes.

All preliminary advice is free, and they offer same-day appointments when customers need a quick response. The pricing for a Schedule of Condition starts from £350, while Party Wall Awards start from £700 and include notices, schedules, and award preparation. They operate with fixed, transparent pricing and do not charge VAT.

The process begins with an initial consultation to assess the project and explain obligations, followed by serving legally valid notices. Next, they conduct independent inspections and create photographic records, leading to the issuance of a detailed Party Wall Award. They provide ongoing support by monitoring work and updating documents as needed.

They offer three main services: preparing and serving notices under Sections 1, 3, and 6; creating full photographic schedule of condition reports; and issuing legal Party Wall Awards. They also provide separate surveyor services for building owners and adjoining owners, plus professional dispute resolution.

The business claims over 10+ years of experience and states that all their surveyors are members of the Faculty of Party Wall Surveyors. They hold RICS accredited degrees in building and surveying, and they follow the FPWS code of conduct. They cover both commercial and residential projects.

They serve a diverse range of clients including homeowners, landlords, property developers, builders, and contractors. The firm explicitly states they act impartially as required under the Party Wall Act, ensuring a fair and straightforward approach for all parties involved.

Customers can get started by requesting a free consultation via their contact form or by calling 07436 999 523. They also offer a free quote and will make home visits to discuss proposed party wall works directly with clients.

The firm provides clear communication to keep both building owners and adjoining owners informed, which helps prevent simple notices from turning into disputes. They also offer 24–48 hour notice delivery for urgent situations.

The website mentions that they do not charge for Party Wall notices, as this is included within their fee for Party Wall Awards. This contrasts with other surveyors who might charge separately for notices.

They prepare and deliver all required notices, including those for new walls on boundaries, work on existing party walls, and excavations near neighbour foundations. They also carry out condition reports and building surveys.

The firm states they cover London, Hertfordshire, Surrey, and the surrounding counties, with a specific mention of accommodating clients even if they feel their location is further away. They emphasize nationwide coverage for their services.

They offer a range of options for adjoining owners, such as consenting to works immediately, dissenting to appoint an agreed surveyor, or dissenting to appoint their own surveyor. They also allow consent subject to a schedule of condition being carried out.

The firm provides a detailed breakdown of what is included in their fees, such as land registry searches, attending to carry out schedules of condition, and liaising with both building and adjoining owners. They also include travel time in their pricing.

They have a dedicated FAQ section on their website that explains the difference between a Party Wall Notice and a Party Wall Award, along with the steps involved in the legal process. They also provide a contact form for inquiries.
