Why You May Need a Party Wall Surveyor in Cannock

The Party Wall Act applies to many types of residential and commercial projects. You may need a surveyor if you are planning:

  • Home extensions — building up to or astride the boundary (guide here).
  • Loft conversions — cutting into or raising a party wall (see our loft conversion guide).
  • Basement excavations — digging within 3–6 metres of a neighbour’s property (basement advice).
  • Internal structural works — inserting beams, chimney breast removal, or damp proofing.

Even seemingly small works can trigger the Act. A simple internal alteration may still require notice. Getting it wrong risks injunctions, disputes, and costly delays.

What Happens if You Don’t Follow the Act?

Ignoring the Party Wall Act is a major risk. If you start work without proper notices or awards, your neighbour can apply to court for an injunction to stop the works. This can result in:

  • Delays of weeks or months.
  • Legal costs far exceeding the cost of a surveyor.
  • Damage claims without protection of a Schedule of Condition.

Can my neighbour refuse a Party Wall Notice?

Is verbal consent enough?

No. A verbal agreement is not legally valid under the Act. Written notices and (if needed) an award are required.
