Party Wall Notices and Awards in Croydon
Planning a loft conversion, rear extension or basement in Croydon?
Or perhaps your neighbour has served you with a notice and you are not sure what it means. If the disagreement is about where the boundary actually runs, that falls outside the Party Wall Act, and we will tell you so at the outset.
The Act sets out a procedure for settling these matters through surveyors and a binding award, without going to court. We take it from notice through to award.
❝ Brilliant service! Would recommend to family and friends. ❞

Local Knowledge
Much of Croydon is Victorian and Edwardian terraces and 1930s semis, so most party wall work here involves shared chimney breasts, loft conversions cut into the party wall, and extensions dug close to a neighbour's foundations.
We work day to day with the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 and the case law around it, and give clear advice on what the Act requires and how to resolve the issue.
We cover Addiscombe, South Croydon, Purley, Coulsdon, Sanderstead, Selsdon, Shirley, Thornton Heath, Norbury and South Norwood, across the CR0 to CR8 postcodes.
Recent work: rear extension, South Norwood SE25. The owner had served his own notices, which turned out to be defective. We re-served them correctly, worked constructively with the neighbour’s surveyor, and the award was agreed by both surveyors in under seven weeks, with no dispute.
Acting for Building Owners and Neighbours
We act as building owner's surveyor, adjoining owner's surveyor, or agreed surveyor for both. We serve the notices, record the neighbouring property in a schedule of condition, and agree the award.
Whether you want to build, amend, take out or extend a party wall, get advice first. The Act requires you to serve notice on your neighbour before notifiable work starts, and if they dissent, the surveyors agree the terms in an award.
You could also benefit from some of our other services. From structural inspections and designs to quantity surveying, we can help.
