Excel Party Wall Surveyors was set up to make party wall matters simpler, and more easy to navigate for all parties involved in the process. We are a dedicated, specialist team, with the expertise and experience to provide property owners with expert advice covering the full spectrum of party wall related queries.
Our efficient processes, gained from many years working within this professional field, enable Excel Party Wall Surveyors to offer expert advice and first-class service at highly competitive rates.
We provide initial advice on all party wall matters including:
undertaking detailed review of plans and drawings;
undertaking site visits, where necessary;
Following formal appointment, we identify adjacent building owners via Land Registry data and other means, and diligently prepare and issue notice(s) under Sections 1, 3 and 6 of the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, as appropriate.
We undertake formal Schedule of Condition surveys which records the pre-existing condition of the Adjoining Owner's property. During this process we take multiple photographs, which are retained in our files, to ensure we are able to compare the condition of a property before and after the works in the event of any later dispute under the Act.
We prepare and agree party wall awards either as an Agreed Surveyor (appointed by both the Building Owner and the Adjoining Owner) or working in conjunction with other party wall surveyors. The award enables the Building Owner to legally proceed with the notifiable works, but also protects the Adjoining Owner's position in the event of damage or loss. The award will primarily deal with the time and manner of undertaking the works and may also deal with matters of access and security for expenses.
