Our team includes qualified and experienced Party Wall Surveyors who are members of the Faculty of Party Wall Surveyors (FPWS). With LENIO Group, you can proceed with your project legally, transparently, and with complete peace of mind.
A Party Wall Notice is a legal document informing your neighbour that you plan to carry out work near or on the shared boundary. It’s the first formal step under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996.
A Schedule of Condition is a detailed report recording the condition of your neighbour’s property before work begins. It protects both parties by providing evidence in case of future claims for damage.
A Party Wall Award is a legally binding agreement that sets out the scope of the works, how and when they will be carried out, and how risks will be managed. It’s prepared if the neighbour dissents to the Notice.
An Agreed Surveyor is appointed jointly by both parties to resolve the matter, while a Second Surveyor is appointed when each party wants their own representative. Both roles help negotiate and formalize the Party Wall Award.
It’s best to contact us as soon as you start planning works near a shared wall or boundary. We can advise on whether the Party Wall Act applies and help you avoid delays and disputes.
