Price guide
Clear, transparent fees for every stage of the Party Wall process — whether you're the Building Owner or the Adjoining Owner.
Building Owner
I'm doing work
Under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, a Building Owner carrying out certain building works must serve the appropriate notices on affected Adjoining Owners before work begins. Depending on the proposed works, the Act may require a Party Wall Award to be prepared by an agreed surveyor or by surveyors appointed for each owner. Our pricing guide reflects the different stages of the process and the level of involvement required, from serving notices and obtaining consent through to preparing an Award where a dispute arises.
Pricing per Adjoining Owner.
Only one of the fee outcomes will apply.
Outcome 1
PARTY WALL NOTICE
Start with confidence. Your Notice is professionally researched, prepared and served correctly from the outset.
MORE INFO
Serving Notice is the first stage of your project. Based on your neighbour's response, additional party wall services such as a Schedule of Condition or Party Wall Award may be required.
INCLUDES
- Reviewing your proposals
- Land Registry searches
- Preparing the correct statutory notices
- Serving notice by Royal Mail Tracked 24®
- Managing responses & correspondence
Outcome 2
PARTY WALL NOTICE& SCHEDULE OF CONDITION
Greater peace of mind. In addition to serving notice (everything mentioned in Outcome 1 above), we will professionally document the condition of your neighbour's property before work begins, providing an accurate record should it be needed.
MORE INFO
If your neighbour consents to the Party Wall Notice, there is no need for a formal Party Wall Award. However, preparing a Schedule of Condition is still recommended, as it provides a clear record of the property's condition before the works begin and can help resolve any concerns about damage that may arise during or after the works.
INCLUDES
- Party Wall Notice
- Schedule of Condition
Outcome 3
PARTY WALL NOTICE,SCHEDULE OF CONDITION& PARTY WALL AWARD
Resolve the dispute. We conclude a party Wall Award, which includes serving notice and preparing the Schedule of Condition.
MORE INFO
If your neighbour does not consent to the works, the Party Wall process moves to the next stage, where surveyors will prepare a Party Wall Award.
INCLUDES
- Party Wall Notice
- Schedule of Condition
- Party Wall Award
Please note that if your neighbour dissents to the notice and chooses to appoint their own independent surveyor, you will generally be responsible for paying that surveyor's reasonable fees. These fees would be additional to our own charges.
We invoice on completion — not up front. You only pay once your Party Wall Award has been completed and issued.
Adjoining Owner
My neighbour is doing work
As an Adjoining Owner, you have rights under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 when a neighbour proposes certain building works. We act on an hourly-rate basis to review the proposals, advise you on your rights and protect your interests throughout the process. The final fee is agreed with the Building Owner's surveyor, with the costs generally being paid by the Building Owner in accordance with the Act.
Our hourly rate
In most cases, the Adjoining Owner's reasonable costs are paid by the Building Owner. We charge a straightforward hourly rate as standard, with fixed-fee quotations available on request.
As the adjoining owner, your reasonable surveyor's fees are typically met by the building owner — so you're usually represented at no cost to you.
Frequently Asked Questions
I'd like to appoint you. How do I proceed?
Simply get in touch via our contact page or call us. Tell us about your project and we'll review your proposals, advise on the correct notices, and handle everything from there — usually starting with serving the Party Wall Notice.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. For Building Owners, the fees set out above are fixed per adjoining owner, and only one outcome fee will apply depending on how your neighbour responds. For Adjoining Owners we charge an hourly rate, with fixed-fee quotations available on request.
I've seen cheaper prices elsewhere.
We focus exclusively on Party Wall matters, and our surveyors are members of either the RICS, the FPWS, the Pyramus & Thisbe Society and the CIOB. Our fees reflect specialist expertise, professional indemnity cover and a service we only invoice once the work is complete.
