Surveyors
Agreed surveyor or two surveyors?
An agreed surveyor is a single person appointed by both owners. If either owner wants their own surveyor, the two-surveyor route is the ordinary alternative.

How this platform talks about it
We explain both paths. We do not lean on an adjoining owner to accept the building owner’s choice. Appointment is a written step between the owner and the surveyor. An introduction on this site is not that appointment.
The surveyor remains an independent firm. PartyWallSurvey.uk does not act as the appointed surveyor.
A Party Wall Notice does not replace planning permission, building regulations approval, leaseholder or freeholder consent, or structural advice. This platform does not provide legal advice and does not issue Awards.
