Party Wall Surveying Services
Our Party Wall Surveyors have noticed a rise in requests to evoke the Party Wall etc Act 1996 in recent years, as home owners choose to extend their properties in favour of moving.
The Party Wall etc Act 1996 provides a framework for preventing and resolving disputes – these often arise when neighbours choose to extend/alter their properties and carry out excavations or changes near to party walls, boundary walls or neighbouring buildings.

To find out more about the Party Wall etc Act 1996, please call Chauntry Surveying on 01628 421504 or email info@chauntrysurveying.com
