WHAT IS THE PARTY WALL ACT?

The Party Wall Act covers 3 distinct areas of work; changes to an existing party structures, the construction of new walls at the boundary and excavation within 3 or 6 metres of a shared or adjoining structure. An owner proposing to undertake any such work (known as the “building owner”) is required to formally notify the owners of affected neighbouring properties.

If the owner of the neighbouring property (known as the “adjoining owner”) does not consent to the notice, a dispute arises and both parties must appoint a surveyor, or concur in the appointment of a single ‘agreed’ surveyor. The surveyors produce a document called a “party wall award”.

The award confirms the building owner’s right to undertake the work but only in a way that minimises the risk of damage and ensures that the occupants of the adjoining owner’s property do not suffer unnecessary inconvenience. As part of the process, the condition of the adjoining owner’s property is recorded so that if damage is reported either during or following the works, there is a prior record to check it against.

BEACONSFIELD

Beaconsfield, a charming market town in Buckinghamshire, is ideally situated between the bustling towns of High Wycombe to the northwest and Slough to the southeast. Renowned for its blend of historic charm and modern amenities, the town is divided into two distinct areas: the picturesque Old Town, with its Georgian and Tudor architecture, and the newer, vibrant New Town, established following the arrival of the railway.

The town boasts excellent transport links, making it a desirable location for commuters and families alike. Beaconsfield railway station is served by Chiltern Railways, offering swift services to London Marylebone in as little as 25 minutes. For drivers, the M40 motorway, which links London, Oxford, and Birmingham, runs nearby.

A notable attraction in Beaconsfield is Bekonscot Model Village, the world’s oldest model village. Opened in 1929, this enchanting miniature world captures life as it was in the 1930s, complete with tiny railways, picturesque buildings, and meticulous landscaping, delighting visitors of all ages.

Beaconsfield also holds a special literary connection, as it was home to the beloved children’s author Enid Blyton for many years. Unfortunately, the large house where she lived with her husband was demolished in the 1970s, but her memory lives on through the road which now runs through the plot, Blyton Close,

William Westwood
We needed to get a party wall agreement very quickly to prevent works having to stop after our surveyor had to pull out due to illness. We contacted Peter Barry and were able to get a site visit and agreement wrapped up within two weeks. The service was excellent and we were able to start working on our property without delay. Would highly recommend
Response from the owner:We appreciate your recommendation Mr Westwood.

James Mereweather from Peter Barry acted as the Agreed Surveyor to negotiate a party wall agreement. He offered a lot of patient and clear guidance in what is a confusing and stressful process - this was much appreciated. Better value than other surveyors offering the same service too. Thanks!
Response from the owner:Thank you Mr Hennessey, we are pleased to hear that you were so satisfied with the service you received from James.
Zhen
We used Peter Barry Surveyors for a party wall agreement for some works. All went smoothly. Clear detailed reports produced and a party wall agreement awarded. We worked with Joanne & David B who were very helpful and easy to communicate with.

David came to do the survey on the day and was on time (even early) and polite. He answered all the questions I had and took plentiful photos. He also took off his shoes inside without prompting (small things!)

Thanks for all your help!
Response from the owner:We really appreciate your feedback, and we will share your comments with Joanne and David.
