Works
Basements
Lowering a floor, digging under a terrace, and underpinning a party wall are not priced as ordinary extensions. They are not auto-quoted and they are not matched to a partner who has not accepted that work.
This is general information for England and Wales. It is not a decision on your building. Status: pending project-specific review by a qualified Party Wall professional. House-style review 27 September 2026.
What the hold is for
Owner lists, ground movement, the sequence of work, and insurance scope all need a senior reviewer. An assistive draft is not generated while that hold is on.
Security for expenses and a detailed Schedule of Condition are commonly discussed. Whether they are required is for the professional, not this page.
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.
