At Christopher Anthony Surveyors, we were recently instructed on a project at Mayplace Road East, Bexleyheath DA7. The Building Owner planned a part single, part two-storey rear extension together with the removal of a chimney breast adjoining the party wall.

Our Role

We were appointed to serve Party Wall Notices on the two neighbouring properties affected by the proposed works.

• Neighbour 1: Provided written consent, allowing the works to progress smoothly without the need for an award.
• Neighbour 2: Opted to appoint us as the Agreed Surveyor, meaning we acted impartially for both the Building Owner and Adjoining Owner. This streamlined the process, reduced costs, and ensured the Party Wall Award was agreed without unnecessary delays.

Why an Agreed Surveyor?

Using an Agreed Surveyor in Bexleyheath meant only one surveyor was needed instead of two. This simplified the process and avoided duplication of fees while still ensuring both the Building Owner and the Adjoining Owner were fully protected under the Act.Outcome

The appointment as Agreed Surveyor meant both parties had confidence in a fair and transparent process. With consent from one neighbour and an agreed award with the other, the Building Owner was able to move forward with their extension and alterations without dispute.

Outcome

The Party Wall Award was agreed and served without delay, allowing the rear extension project to proceed smoothly. Both neighbours had peace of mind knowing their interests were safeguarded and costs were proportionate.
