Party wall surveyors for conversions and mixed use

Common conversion work under the Act

• Work to party floors between flats or between shops and flats above
• New openings and steels in walls shared with neighbouring buildings
• Raising party walls for additional storeys or roof extensions
• Underpinning for new loads or lowered floors

Many owners, one building

A converted building can have a freeholder, a head leaseholder and several long leaseholders, all of whom may be owners under the Act. We map every interest so no one is missed.

Roof extensions and upward development

Adding storeys usually means raising party walls with neighbouring buildings under Section 2, and protecting neighbours' roofs, chimneys and flashings during the work.

Common questions

Is a floor between two flats a party structure?

Yes, where the flats are owned separately, the floor or ceiling between them is a party structure under the Act.

Do leaseholders need their own notices?

Leaseholders with more than a year left on their lease are owners under the Act and should receive notice.
