Case studies
The Party Wall Act (Party Wall Law or Party Wall Legislation) and the situations that it applies to are vast.
We have many Party Wall Case Studies on which we’ve successfully advised clients. Here are several examples where our clients appointed us to undertake work as party wall surveyors.
Twford Abbey,
NW10
One of our party wall surveyors was appointed by Clarion Housing Group and Redington Capital Limited to act as the Agreed Surveyor on this prestigious project. The heritage of the Abbey is important to the area and an interesting structure to work with. The renovation of the Abbey relies upon the regeneration of the site as a whole and included demolishing the later additions to allow for further development whilst maintaining the original Abbey and bringing it back to its former glory.

W14
One of our party wall surveyors was appointed to act as Building Owners Surveyor in this redevelopment project. There were 14 adjoining properties that required notice and all of which resulted in schedules of condition and awards being served. The whole party wall process was completed within 3 months and we continue to work closely with the building owner on the project.

SS2
One of our surveyors was appointed as the Building Owners Surveyor in the redevelopment of the site. There were multiple adjoining owners to serve notice upon and a number of adjoining owners surveyors were appointed. The project will see the site transferred into a welcoming, modern set of structures providing much needed homes into the area. One of the adjoining structures is a church that needs constant safe access for the public. This project is due to be completed in 2024.

The Piling required was also in close proximity of the adjoining owners commercial unit and therefore detailed methodology and risk assessment were required. Due to the commercial use of the existing site an experienced hand was required to ensure that the various issues arising were resolved to ensure that the disruption to business was kept to a minimum and monitored throughout.
