About South East Party Walls

A party wall practice in Selhurst, working for homeowners, neighbours, architects and builders across South London and the South East.

Your surveyor

A loft conversion under way on a 1930s semi in Streatham. The house next door is the adjoining owner.

Your surveyor has spent a lifetime in construction, first as a registered house builder and now as a party wall surveyor. That means awards written by someone who knows how lofts, extensions and basements are actually built, and what goes wrong on site.

  • Faculty of Party Wall Surveyors
  • Pyramus & Thisbe Society
  • £250,000 professional indemnity insurance
  • £1 million public liability insurance

Under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, surveyors are appointed as individuals. You will deal with the same surveyor from the first call to the signed award, and you will always know whose name is on your paperwork.

Why Selhurst

Selhurst sits between central Croydon, South Norwood and Thornton Heath, at the foot of the slope that climbs to Crystal Palace. Trains run from Selhurst station to Victoria and London Bridge, and the A23 and A22 lead straight out to Surrey. From here, every South London borough is a short trip, which makes it easy to fit site visits around your neighbours rather than ours.

It also means most of our work is in the kind of houses we live among: Victorian terraces, interwar semis and converted flats, on London Clay.

How we work

  • Fixed fees, in writing. You know the cost before you commit.
  • One surveyor. The person you speak to is the person who signs.
  • Plain English. Notices, letters and awards that homeowners and builders can actually follow.
  • Impartial, as the Act requires. Whoever appoints us, our job is to see the work done properly and the neighbouring property protected.

Who we work for

Homeowners planning lofts, extensions and basements; neighbours who have received a notice; architects, loft companies and builders who want the party wall side handled while they get on with the design and the build; and landlords and managing agents of converted houses and blocks of flats.

Insurance and contact details

We carry £250,000 professional indemnity insurance and £1 million public liability insurance.

Newhaven Road, Selhurst, London SE25 6JQ
