How it works
How your property gets protected, step by step.
Speak to a surveyor
Send us the notice and talk it through with a senior surveyor — same day. We explain the works, your options and the protection you're entitled to.
Your property recorded
Before anything starts, we produce a detailed written and photographic Schedule of Condition of your property — your proof of what was already there.
Your concerns in the Award
Working hours, access, protection measures and how any damage is put right are written into the binding Award, with independent oversight throughout.
Why MG
Built to protect the neighbour, not just the builder.
Over 10 years of specialist party wall work across the UK — acting for adjoining owners whose neighbours are building, and making sure their property is recorded, protected and properly represented.
We act for you, not the works
Appointed as your surveyor, our duty is to the Act — your property and your concerns are represented properly, never treated as an afterthought.
Normally no cost to you
In the great majority of cases the owner carrying out the works pays the reasonable fees of both surveyors, so protecting yourself typically costs you nothing.
Your property recorded first
A detailed written and photographic Schedule of Condition before works begin — the clearest possible proof of what was already there.
RICS regulated
The party wall industry is unregulated — we choose to be accountable to RICS, the Faculty of Party Wall Surveyors and the Pyramus & Thisbe Society.
Insured up to £10m
Full cover on every appointment, from a neighbour's single rear extension to a multi-plot development next door.
We answer the phone
Call and you speak to a surveyor, not a call centre. Same-day response, plain English, no obligation.
Common questions
Straight answers for adjoining owners.
Don't ignore it. You can consent, or you can dissent and appoint a surveyor to act for you. Speak to us first and we'll explain the notice in plain English, what the works actually involve and which option protects you best. There's no cost for that conversation.
In the great majority of cases the owner carrying out the works pays the reasonable fees of both surveyors, because they are the party benefitting from the works. That means appointing a surveyor to look after your interests typically costs you nothing.
Your surveyor records the condition of your property before anything starts, checks the drawings and method of work, and makes sure your concerns are written into the Award — including working hours, access, protection measures and how any damage is put right.
It's a detailed written and photographic record of your property before the works begin. If cracking or damage appears later, that record is what proves what was already there and what is new — it's the single strongest protection an adjoining owner has.
The Act makes the owner carrying out the works responsible for putting damage caused by those works right. With a Schedule of Condition in place, your surveyor can establish the damage is new and press for it to be made good, or for reasonable compensation instead.
Sometimes consenting is sensible for very minor works, but it means no Award, no agreed record of your property and no surveyor acting for you. We'll tell you honestly which route suits your situation rather than pushing you either way.
No obligation · Free initial call
Appoint a surveyor who acts for you, not the builder.
Send us the notice you've received and we'll explain exactly what it means, what your rights are, and how your property gets protected — before you sign anything. The surveyor's fees are normally paid by the owner carrying out the works.
