Party wall survey

Anonymous user 12 October 2015 - 8.31 PM

I am looking to build in close proximity to my neighbour. I have issued them a party wall warning letter. Do I need to have a survey on their property before I start work?

I would recommend you have an engineer survey there property, take photos of inside and outside and possible drawings for pad stone layout ( steels in between) as digging complete foundations near neighbours could cause movement etc. Possible separate insurance taken out to cover any complications that might arise during the guarantee you give clients its works. Although you have issued party wall notice, it is best to have an agreement in place before works started.
