How much does a party wall surveyor cost in Sutton?
Costs vary depending on the type of work and whether a Party Wall Award is required. Simple party wall notices may start from around £150–£250, while more complex matters involving awards generally cost from £700 plus VAT.
How long does the party wall process take?
The process usually begins by serving a party wall notice at least one or two months before work starts, depending on the type of work. If neighbours consent, the process can be relatively quick, while disputes requiring a Party Wall Award may take several weeks.
Can one surveyor act for both neighbours?
Yes. If both the building owner and adjoining owner agree, a single agreed surveyor can act impartially for both parties. This is often the quickest and most cost-effective solution.
What happens if my neighbour objects to the works?
If an adjoining owner dissents or does not respond to the notice, surveyors are appointed to prepare a Party Wall Award. The award sets out how and when the work can proceed while protecting both properties.
