Transparent Guidance from Dunham Hale Chartered Surveyors

At Dunham Hale, our party wall surveyor fees are assessed on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the complexity and scope of each instruction. We believe in providing fair, tailored quotes that reflect the work involved.

For residential party wall matters, our fees typically range between £500 and £1,500 for straightforward cases. More complex or time-intensive residential instructions may exceed this.

For commercial party wall projects, fees usually start from £1,500 upwards, depending on factors such as the size of the development, technical complexity, and number of adjoining owners involved.

It’s important to note that the above fees apply where we are appointed as the Building Owner’s Surveyor. If we are appointed as the Adjoining Owner’s Surveyor, the fee structure may vary depending on the situation and level of involvement required.

Who Pays the Fees?

Under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, if you are the building owner, you are responsible for covering all reasonable professional costs associated with the party wall process. This includes:

– Fees for your appointed party wall surveyor
– Fees for the adjoining owner’s surveyor (if they appoint one)
– Costs for any required structural engineers or specialist consultants
– Disbursements or administrative expenses involved in completing the Award

By working with Dunham Hale Chartered Surveyors, you can be confident in a fair, transparent process that protects your interests and keeps your project legally compliant.
