There are three main situations
that can arise regarding boundaries:
Party
Wall etc Act 1996. This applies where someone wishes
to carry out work on or close to a boundary. The work may be the
erection of a new structure, changes to an existing structure or
an intention to carry out excavations. If you are planning to carry
out work near your boundary, or your neighbour intends to carry
out work near your boundary, you may wish to discuss this with a
Party Wall Surveyor (Chartered Surveyor)
Boundary
Disputes. This is where there is disagreement between
two or more neighbours regarding where a boundary lies. The surveyor
will make a thorough investigation initially via 'deed plans' prior
to any form of delineation and interpolation of the boundary.
Boundary
Surveys. This is the process of carrying out a survey
to define where a new boundary will go or to establish where an
existing boundary lies.
