A Building Survey is a detailed investigation into the construction and condition of the property, produced in a comprehensive report according to the style of the surveyor. The extent of the survey will be subject to discussion and agreement with the client and may include specialist reports e.g. Fees will vary depending on the size, nature and value of the property, but quotations can normally be given. If telephoning please have available basic information concerning the property to be surveyed including age and style, details of accommodation, any unusual features and approximate value.
The Party Wall Surveyors (or the "Agreed Surveyor" if the two owners can concur in a single appointment) will prepare a document known as a "Party Wall Award" (sometimes called a "Party Wall Agreement").This document sets out certain guidelines in relation to how the work should proceed and covers items such as working hours, contractor's insurance and access for the surveyor(s) during the course of the works. If you do not think your neighbour is likely to consent to the planned works it is worth involving a Party Wall Surveyor at an early stage.
