MET SURVEYORS

Local Party Wall Surveyors for Edgware & North London

If you’re planning a home extension, loft conversion, basement project, or boundary works in Edgware, compliance with the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 is essential. This legislation ensures both you and your neighbours are protected when building works affect shared walls, boundary lines, or adjoining properties.
 

At MET Surveyors, we specialise in Party Wall services across Edgware, Mill Hill, Stanmore, and North London, with deep expertise in conservation area properties and heritage homes. We’ll make sure your project is fully compliant, neighbour-friendly, and dispute-free.

​

Understanding the Party Wall Act in Edgware

If your works affect a shared wall, structure, or excavation near a neighbour’s property, you are legally required to:

1. Serve a Party Wall Notice at least one or two months before work starts.

2. Allow neighbours to consent, dissent, or stay silent (silence counts as dissent).

3. Resolve disagreements via a Party Wall Award, a legally binding agreement prepared by surveyors.

​

This applies to:

• Loft conversions, dormers, and roof extensions

• Rear and side house extensions

• Garden boundary wall construction or rebuilding

• Basements, underpinning, and excavations

• Renovations involving shared or structural walls

​

Edgware Conservation Areas & Heritage Projects

Edgware is home to unique conservation areas and historically significant streets that require specialist surveying knowledge. We regularly work with properties in:

• Edgwarebury Conservation Area: Historic farms, cottages, and open landscapes requiring sensitive development planning.

• Mill Hill Conservation Area: Georgian and Victorian properties with strict heritage guidelines.

• Stanmore & Canons Park Conservation Area: High-value period homes and listed buildings needing detailed assessments.

• Hendon & Golders Green Conservation Areas: Complex architectural features and boundary lines.

​

Working on a home in these areas means meticulous compliance, and our surveyors provide expert guidance to meet both legal and heritage requirements.
