Party Wall Surveyor in Purley
Purley is a few miles from our Croydon office, and we act on party wall matters across Purley, Kenley, Coulsdon and Sanderstead, from loft conversions to basements on sloping sites.
Party Wall Notices and Awards in Purley
Planning a loft conversion, rear extension or basement in Purley?
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.

Local Knowledge
Purley and the surrounding hills are largely 1920s and 1930s semis and detached houses, many on sloping chalk sites. Extensions and basements cut into the slope often mean excavating close to a neighbour’s foundations, which is section 6 territory.
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 Purley, Kenley, Coulsdon, Old Coulsdon, Sanderstead, Riddlesdown and Woodcote, across CR2, CR5 and CR8.
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.
