Do you need a Party Wall surveyor? That depends on how your neighbour reacts to the notice served to them. However, two months before you commence work, you will need to serve a notice to all the legal owners that will be in any way affected by your proposed project. A surveyor will let you know when and how to go about this, and the neighbours involved will have about 14 days to respond to your notice.

However, you won’t be needing a Party Wall Surveyor if they give you their consent, but it is always safe to check with one, know all your rights and limitations and avoid a future dispute. And again, if your neighbours failed to reply or give their consent, the next step to take is to make a Party Wall Agreement which will be needing a Party Wall surveyor to execute. Always talk to your neighbour before serving a notice.
