MET SURVEYORS

Specialist Party Wall Surveyors in Battersea & SW11

Battersea’s housing market is a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, mews houses, riverside flats, and modern developments like the Battersea Power Station regeneration project. With its dense terraced streets, conservation areas, and high-value riverside properties, building works here often require Party Wall Notices and Awards under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996.

​

At MET Surveyors, we’re trusted Party Wall Surveyors in Battersea. Whether you’re adding a loft extension off Northcote Road, excavating a basement near Battersea Park, or renovating a Victorian terrace in Shaftesbury Park Estate, our team delivers expert guidance, dispute-free agreements, and fast, compliant notices.

​

Common Party Wall Scenarios in Battersea

Many Battersea homeowners and developers encounter Party Wall matters because of the area’s historic building stock and ongoing redevelopment:

• Loft Conversions & Chimney Removals: Common in SW11’s Victorian terraces, triggering party structure notices.

• Side & Rear Extensions: Popular for homes near Clapham Common and Battersea Park; often require multiple adjoining owner consents.

• Basement Excavations: Increasingly common in high-value streets like Prince of Wales Drive and Albert Bridge Road.

• Mews Property Renovations: Narrow streets like Simpson Street and cul-de-sacs near Battersea High Street create boundary complexities.

• Garden & Boundary Wall Rebuilds: Shared garden walls in Shaftesbury Park Estate require detailed awards.

• New Developments: Large-scale regeneration at Nine Elms and Battersea Power Station demands extensive Party Wall coordination.

​

Battersea Conservation Areas & Local Planning Context

Battersea’s property market is shaped by strict conservation and planning controls. Our surveyors are familiar with:

• Battersea Park Conservation Area: Historic villas, terraces, and riverside apartments with heritage protections.

• Shaftesbury Park Estate Conservation Area: A unique grid of Victorian cottages, where boundary walls and extensions often trigger party wall requirements.

• Battersea Square & St Mary’s Church Area: Character properties with strict design guidelines.

• Nine Elms Regeneration Zone: High-rise apartments and mixed-use developments with complex multi-owner party wall scenarios.

• Wandsworth Council Planning: Battersea falls under Wandsworth’s planning policies, where strict adherence to the Party Wall Act is expected for major works.
