According to the government`s statement, I agree with the neighbors on the party wall. We agreed that I would pay for a licensed surveyor to do a condition report and make sure we repair any damage in exchange for their consent. I think I am looking for an opinion on the price, in terms of confusion about what falls within the scope, and also the inclusion of a clause on the decoration of the wall facing my neighbor. This document cost me almost £2,000 and was created by two members of the party`s Faculty of Wall Land Surveyors, which I assumed was a professional and regulated body. Still shocked by the £4300 bill from the surveyors of the party wall. a) Cut the chases in the wall of the party to obtain pipes and wires. 9. Article 17: Any amount of money due and payable under this award, including surveyors` expenses, if not properly paid, may be recovered by a “civil action” in a district court within six months of the due date and payment of such amount (which is generally six months from the date of service of such award). This indemnity does not apply to other work that the builder may perform. All works mentioned in this prize are also subject to the provisions of the law. Below is a non-exhaustive summary of these terms, which are set forth below in support of the parties.
If in doubt, you should continue to consult your party`s land surveyor and/or refer to the specific wording of the law itself. 7. Article 8: The owner of the immovable, his servants, representatives or workers may, for the purpose of carrying out the work referred to in this award, have access to the land or premises of the adjacent owner and remove any movable or movable or take other measures necessary for this purpose. Before that, however, the builder must provide the adjacent owner and any user of the adjacent premises with written notice of its intention to enter within a period of at least fourteen days ending on the date of the proposed entry. Similar written notice provisions apply to land surveyors within the walls of the parties if they need access to the adjacent owner`s property. Access by land is also limited to normal working hours. The customer must also try to agree on the duration of the required access in relation to the time and mode of execution of the work. If the duration of the required access cannot be agreed, it may also be for the surveyor(s) awarded the contract to determine the duration of the necessary access.
It should be noted that denying, impeding or hindering such access, which was lawfully obtained under section 8 of the Act, is also a criminal offence under section 8 of the Act. 5. § 7 (5): When carrying out the works specified in this price, the customer must: comply with the provisions of other legal requirements (e.B. according to the Urban Planning Act or building regulations) and (b) not deviate from the conditions of this price without the prior consent of the parties or surveyors acting on their behalf. 2. There is a clause in the “More Information” section that stands out like a painful thumb, it does not refer to a clause in the Party Wall Act like all the other clauses, and the wall it refers to is a wall that stands entirely on my own property. The article says 1. Upon service pursuant to section 3 of the Act of the above-mentioned Party Structure Notice, the adjacent owner did not provide notice within fourteen days declaring his consent to the Party Structure Notice. Therefore, under section 5 of the Act, a dispute between the parties regarding the work proposed in the Party Structure Notice is deemed to have arisen. Neighbours spent £3060 of our money on rewards which included information such as: all work at the building owners` expense, minimising disturbance, removing dust, repairing damage and no excavations on neighbours` land. Compensation is of dubious value if the action already covers the causation of unnecessary inconvenience and compensation for damage caused by the work.
Not to mention that prices are limited to a tiny part of the construction project, the party wall. I find it difficult to understand which “works” fall under the agreement and which are not. (e) Limit noisy works to which this price refers to opening hours from 8:00 .m to 17:00.m Monday to Friday, without allowing noisy work on the party wall on weekends or public holidays. The only work to report that I may have to do on the party wall is when we need to replace that flash or cut off a new mission. There is also internal work, like hanging new cabinets on the party wall and hunting in some wires, but I think I can do that without an agreement on the party wall. I copy the actual markup below, as close as possible to the original, blackened with names and addresses. I also include some photos for context, essentially we fill the gap between the extension of the dining room and the wall of the living room where the garden table and chairs are located.

The inclusion of this clause made me lose confidence that the Party Wall Award is impartial. .
