Welcome to Peerless PW
Your Trusted Party Wall Partner
At Peerless Party Wall, we specialise in Party Wall matters.
Our experts are here to help clients understand the Party Wall Act, and make the Party Wall process fast, cost effective and stress free.
We can draft and serve Party Wall Notices on your behalf, or offer advice about responding to a Notice you have received.
We can compile Schedules of Condition to prevent spurious claims and, equally, to hold the works owner accountable for damage they've caused.
Peerless can act as:
-
The Building Owner's Surveyor, for owners proposing work under the Act.
-
The Adjoining Owners Surveyor for anyone affected by those works.
-
The Agreed Surveyor, acting for both parties.
We offer a free phone consultation with an expert to find out how we can best help you, or if you just need some friendly advice.
We operate across the South East, including South East London.
We pride ourselves on fostering good relationships with everyone involved in the party wall process, be they proposing work, a neighbour or the engineers or architects involved in the project.
We believe these relationships are key to providing our clients with quick, hassle free outcomes that save time and money.
A Little of Our Philosophy
At Peerless PW, we don't just slap Notices on neighbours. We talk to them first, and provide contractor courtesy guidelines and work methodologies to help alleviate concerns.
You may know that your work falls within the scope of the Party Wall Act, you might be unsure. It's best to assume that it does, then talk to us.
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 confers legal obligations upon anyone wanting to carry out building works within the scope of the Act.
Which is a slightly officious way of saying, it's just as important to get right as a planning application or building regulations.
Work usually falls within the Act if it will impact on an adjoining neighbour, be it their structures, boundaries or foundations.
Ultimately, the Act exists to formalise good working practices, necessitate transparency, engender understanding and enforce accountability.
It encourages good neighbourly relations and ensures no one need suffer anxiety, undue disruption, or loss resulting from a neighbours building work.
In short, it's a good thing. Try not to see at as yet another project hurdle, rather as a means to the smooth, lawful completion of your works. Even more so if you have Peerless by your side!
