The problem
The training available for party wall surveyors is sparse, inadequate and lacks depth for the beginner, the intermediate and the experienced surveyor.
Adminstration of the Party Wall Etc 1996 Act is opaque and inconsistent which routinely results in delays, costs and sometimes even the escalation of disputes.
In part this is done to the confuse the public and protect the industry.
Our solution
This site is intended to offer clear and simple explanations and interpretations of a wide range of party wall matters to assist the public and surveyors with the proper administration of the Act.
