hi my name's faye and i'm a building
[2]
surveyor with harrison clark childhood
[4]
surveyors and today we are going to be
[5]
talking about party walls
[13]
[Music]
[16]
your party wool surveys fee will include
[19]
a number of things this is usually the
[21]
preparation and service of notices a
[24]
photographic scheduled condition if you
[26]
wish
[27]
making or obtaining a party wall award
[30]
and other matters that may arise from
[32]
disputes
[35]
[Music]
[38]
under normal circumstances is the
[40]
building owner's responsibility to pay
[42]
surveyors fees for both sides this is
[45]
because it is them that want to carry
[46]
out the works
[53]
if the building owner feels that the
[54]
fees of the adjoining owners surveyor is
[56]
unreasonable there is a right to refer
[58]
the matter to the fed's fair or appeal
[61]
the award in the county court however if
[64]
you wish to appeal the award in the
[66]
county court you will only have 14 days
[68]
from the date of the award being served
[71]
we recommend that you always discuss
[73]
fees in the first instance with your
[75]
surveyor and if necessary ask for
[77]
timesheets and documentation of the time
[79]
they have spent on the party war matters
[84]
[Music]
[88]
it is very rare that an adjoining owner
[89]
will be liable for fees however if the
[92]
adjoining owner is asking the building
[94]
owner to carry out works over and above
[96]
the initial intention for example change
[98]
of materials or asking for a party rule
[101]
to be raised higher than originally
[103]
planned they would then become liable
[105]
for the fees
[107]
involved with those works
[109]
if the adjoining owner then instructs
[111]
their party rule for matters outside of
[113]
the scope of party rule works they will
[115]
be liable for the fees involved with
[117]
those works as they are not covered
[119]
under the particle act
[121]
if the adjoining owner decides to refer
[123]
matters to the third surveyor and the
[125]
third surveyor finds favour with the
[127]
building owner the fed surveyor will
[129]
apportion part of their fees as
[131]
reasonable to the adjoining owner
[135]
[Music]
[138]
the building owner will be responsible
[140]
in covering costs for any repairs that
[142]
need to be carried out to adjoining
[144]
owners property as part of this they
[146]
will also need to consider any
[148]
professional fees that may be involved
[149]
with these repair works
[152]
if you intend to enclose on a
[153]
neighboring property's wall you will
[155]
also be liable for something called
[157]
enclosure costs
[164]
enclosure costs arise when a building
[166]
owner uses or encloses upon a wall that
[168]
was previously built by the adjoining
[170]
owner
[172]
this cost is in the form of a payment
[174]
from the building owner directly to the
[176]
adjoining owner
[178]
the reasoning behind this is that the
[180]
wall was previously constructed and paid
[182]
for by the adjoining owner
[185]
if you do wish to make use of of this
[187]
wall you will need to pay 50 percent of
[189]
the build cost of the wall at current
[192]
rates
[193]
this ensures that the building owner is
[195]
paying their equal share of the
[197]
construction even though the wall was
[199]
built potentially years before
[202]
although this may seem unfair in our
[205]
eyes it should be considered a cost
[206]
saving rather than an additional cost
[209]
this is because you haven't had to pay
[211]
out to build this wall when you would
[213]
have if it wasn't there before
[218]
