Party wall surveyor in Thame and Aylesbury

Plan the notices around the actual construction sequence

For building work in Thame or Aylesbury, a project can involve several operations at different stages: excavation, a new wall at the line of junction and later work on an existing party structure. These may call for different notice provisions. A short contractor programme can help explain the intended sequence, but it does not replace the statutory notice periods. Supply the design before the start date becomes fixed so that the required procedure can be identified.

What to send for a Thame and Aylesbury enquiry

• List the excavation, new-wall and shared-wall operations separately.
• Provide the intended start dates for the relevant stages.
• Explain any temporary works or access needed beside the adjoining property.

Include the property address, the intended start date and any notices, responses or awards already issued. We advise in Thame, Aylesbury. This is a service coverage page; it does not claim a separate office in each town.

Do all party wall notices have the same notice period?

No. The provision used matters. Party structure work generally requires two months’ notice, while notices for relevant excavation or a new wall at the line of junction generally require one month. The particular work and any written agreement must be checked.

Choose the right party wall service

If you are carrying out work, our building owner service starts with identifying the notifiable operations and relevant adjoining owners. If you have received a notice, our adjoining owner service can help you understand the proposal and your response options.

Where a dispute arises under the Act, the owners can consider an agreed surveyor or separate appointments. A party wall award records the relevant statutory decisions and conditions; it is not the same as planning permission.

Fees and timing

See our party wall fees and guidance for the published service prices, shown + VAT where applicable. Confirm the scope for the particular project before appointing. The notice period and time needed for a response or award depend on the provision used and the circumstances. Allow time for the process before arranging the relevant works.
