MET SURVEYORS

Local Party Wall Specialists in Westminster & Central London

Planning a luxury refurbishment, basement excavation, loft conversion, or redevelopment in Westminster? With dense urban housing, historic buildings, and strict planning regulations, Party Wall compliance is critical.

​

At MET Surveyors, we’re trusted Party Wall Surveyors for Westminster and neighbouring areas. We specialise in listed properties, conservation areas, and complex developments, ensuring your work is legally compliant, dispute-free, and neighbour-friendly.

​

When the Party Wall Act Applies in Westminster

The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies if your project involves:

• Cutting into, raising, or altering a shared (party) wall

• Building a new wall on or near a property boundary

• Excavating within 3m of a neighbouring building

• Loft conversions, chimney alterations, or roof terraces

• Basement digs and underpinning for high-end renovations

​

With Westminster’s tight plots and premium real estate, these requirements are especially important to avoid legal disputes and costly project delays.
