Party wall surveyor services in Kent FAQs
Who pays for a party wall surveyor in Kent?
In most cases, the building owner carrying out the works pays the party wall surveyor’s fees, whether the work is in Whitstable, Tonbridge, or anywhere else in Kent. There are some exceptions, so we’re happy to talk through costs at the outset.
What should I do if I receive a party wall notice on my Kent property?
Respond in writing within 14 days, either agreeing or dissenting to the proposed work. If you don’t reply, you’re deemed to have dissented and a party wall surveyor will need to be appointed. Both neighbours can agree to appoint a single agreed surveyor, which is often the most cost-effective route.
Do I need a party wall agreement for an extension in Kent?
If your extension involves work on or near a shared wall, boundary, or excavation within three to six metres of a neighbouring building, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 is likely to apply. Our party wall surveyors in Kent can quickly assess whether you need to serve notice.
