Party Wall Awards
Protecting Neighbours, Properties and Investments.
If you’re planning building work on or near a shared wall, boundary, or structure, you are legally required under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 to serve notice and, in many cases, obtain a Party Wall Award. At Bramptons & Son, our RICS-qualified surveyors guide you through the process, ensuring compliance, minimising disputes, and protecting the rights of both building owners and adjoining neighbours.
Party Wall Awards are most commonly required for projects such as extensions, loft conversions, basement works, or structural alterations close to a boundary. With over 35 years of experience, our family-run team provides impartial advice, clear communication, and legally binding agreements that safeguard property owners on both sides.
