Party Wall Survey Hackney, E8

Christopher Anthony Surveyors were recently instructed as Party wall surveyors on a residential property in Hackney E8, close to Broadway Market and London Fields. The project involved substantial structural alterations, requiring full compliance with the Party Wall etc. Act 1996.

Why Our Services Were Needed

The Building Owner planned significant works including:

Installation of structural steelwork into the existing Party Wall
Relocation of internal walls within the terraced property
Other structural modifications requiring formal Party Wall procedures

Because the works directly affected the Party Wall and neighbouring properties, it was essential to serve the correct notices and follow the statutory process.

Our Role in the Project

As the appointed Party Wall Surveyors in Hackney, we carried out the following tasks:

Serving Party Wall Notices on the Adjoining Owners within statutory timescales
Preparing a detailed Schedule of Condition Report to record the neighbouring property’s condition before works commenced
Drafting and agreeing a Party Wall Award, which set out how the works could proceed while safeguarding the Adjoining Owner’s property

This process ensured that the project could move forward without unnecessary delay or risk of dispute.

Benefits to Our Client

By instructing Christopher Anthony Surveyors, the Building Owner gained:

Confidence that all notices and procedures were legally compliant
Protection against future claims through a clear record of the Adjoining Owner’s property condition
A smooth and professional process managed from start to finish
Peace of mind that their project was safeguarded under the Act

Outcome

The Party Wall Award was completed and agreed, allowing the Building Owner to progress with their refurbishment confidently. Both parties entered into the works with a fair, legally binding agreement in place.
