The Party Wall etc. Act 1996

Specialists in matters of compliance

With over 40 years’ experience, we have exceptional knowledge of the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, which allows us to act on behalf of building owners and adjoining owners across a range of large, complex commercial and smaller residential schemes. Considered experts in the field, our neighbourly matters partners regularly act as the Third Surveyor to make legally binding determinations where owners or their appointed surveyors are in dispute.
