When you’re dealing with party wall issues, things can quickly become complicated. The Party Wall Act is clear about who needs to do what, especially in the event of a dispute. If an adjoining owner dissents to the party wall notice, the building owner must appoint a surveyor to represent them. While technically anyone can take on the role of a surveyor, it’s crucial to choose someone who is professional, impartial, and has a solid understanding of construction, party wall procedures, and the necessary qualifications.
