Party Wall SurveyingDone Entirely Online.

No office appointments. No delays. No hourly rates. Party Wall Online is the first and only party wall service in England & Wales, with RICS-qualified surveyors, managed digitally from notice to Award, with a site inspection carried out when required.

Planning an extension, loft conversion, or basement excavation? The Party Wall Act 1996 makes serving notices a legal requirement. We handle everything: quickly, transparently, and at a fixed price.

What We Cover

If you're planning building work, there's a good chance the Party Wall Act applies. Here are the most common scenarios we deal with.

Rear & Side Extensions

Building close to or on the party wall? We serve the correct notices and manage the full process.

Loft Conversions

Work to the party wall above ceiling level requires a Section 2 notice. We handle it.

Basement Excavations

Digging within 3 to 6 metres of a neighbouring property triggers a Section 6 notice.

Works Already Started

Missed serving a notice? Our retrospective service gets you back on the right side of the law.

How It Works

Our process covers every step of the Party Wall Act from start to finish, with clear updates at every stage.

02

We Serve the Notices

We prepare and serve the legally required notices by Recorded Delivery post within 72 hours of instruction.

03

Neighbour Response Period

Your neighbours have 14 days to respond. We contact them proactively, answer their questions, and aim for an Agreed Surveyor outcome.

04

Schedule of Condition

A trained inspector visits your neighbour's property to photograph and document its current condition, protecting both parties before works begin.

05

Party Wall Award

We prepare the formal Party Wall Award document, which sets out the permitted works, working hours, and protection for both parties.

06

Works Can Begin

Once the Award is served, your builder can start. We remain available throughout the build for any queries.
