Party Wall Surveyors in Aldwych
Aldwych is one of Central London’s most vibrant areas stretching from the West End and Covent Garden to Westminster. It is home to many of the best examples of London’s 19th and early 20th Century architectural history from theatres to government buildings.
If you are building against a boundary wall in the area, you may need to consider this history.
Fresson and Tee is a Property Consultancy and Party Wall Surveyor London property owners have turned to on numerous construction, redevelopment, refurbishment and change-of-use projects. As a result, we are well placed to work with you to overcome any challenges you are facing in the area, particularly around historic or architecturally important buildings.
We typically work on behalf of owners on both sides through joint instruction. We can, of course, also act for a single owner too. Whatever issues you are dealing with, contact our party wall surveyors in Aldwych and we can discuss the best way forward.
Do I Need A Party Wall Surveyor?
Any construction projects, including those in Aldwych, require party wall surveyors if they include work on a boundary between two buildings as defined by the Party Wall Act of 1996.
What does a party wall surveyor do? They act independently to ensure building work is compliant with the law.
What is the Party Wall Act?
The Party Wall Act of 1996 regulates construction works involving boundaries between land or property owned by two or more separate entities that, perhaps, could have competing objectives.
The legislation ensures that all parties’ interests are protected by preventing building work that could undermine the structural integrity of shared walls or neighbouring property features.
Who pays for a Party Wall Surveyor?
Party wall surveyor costs in Aldwych, as with elsewhere, are typically met by the organisation that instigates any work. There may be an argument for asking other parties to contribute to costs if the work needs to be done because of defects or lack of repair on their part. Neighbours can also be asked to contribute if they ask for additional works to be done that will benefit them.
The key to success is having independent technical advice. We can provide this, and more, on any aspect of Aldwych Party Wall matters. Contact us to find out more.
