Good Afternoon all,
Just looking for a bit of advise re party wall agreements.
I am at the stages of getting my internal drawings completed to be passed to SE for calculations, hopefully be back within 2 weeks, then looking for builders. The drawings are being done by an architect friend, and so far all is well.
My question comes on the party wall.
The rear extension i am looking to do, will be within 1ft of the neighbors existing extension- ie as close to her build as i can get, and also i'll be looking to remove a chimney.
Who usually starts the party wall agreement process? Do i look for a surveyor first then get the agreement, agreement first then surveyor? Or does the architect or builder usually prepare and send it?
I do not yet have a start date, or expected completion date (or even a builder in mind!) but would like to start building as soon as possible (ie once drawings are done and I've found a builder) so what details would i put on the agreement?
I understand that there is a two month notice period so i'd like to start sooner rather then later! so want to get the paperwork in place while i can.
The application under pd for 5.75m extension has been approved by local counsel but the neighbor had objected so i want to make sure it is done properly just to be on the safe side.
