With housing prices high and space at a premium, it makes sense to invest in your Leyton property and add value and extra square footage where you can.

As many Leyton residents live in the borough’s large number of Victorian terraced flats, this means that adding value can often involve making changes to one or more shared walls.  And consequently this often leads to the need for a Party Wall Agreement with one or more of your Leyton neighbours.

If you are planning to extend into your garden, build a new garden wall along your boundary, insert beams for a loft conversion or even remove the chimney breast within your Leyton home, you will need the written consent of your Leyton neighbour responding to a Party Wall Notice or alternatively a Party Wall Agreement.

A Party Wall Agreement is a legal document prepared by a Party Wall Surveyor signed by you and your Leyton neighbour, which sets out the agreed timescales for your building work, access agreements, working hours, indemnities and insurance arrangements.

As you add value to your Leyton property, appoint Party Wall Surveyors Jordan Brettell to prepare the Party Wall Agreement with efficiency and cost effectively. Call 07815 051255.
