In Cobham, the Party Wall Act applies less often than in town. We tell you plainly whether it does.

Cobham plots are wide, so the Act is narrower.

NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle party wall notices and awards in Cobham KT11, under one contract. Fees are priced per project by our own quantity surveyor, from the actual scope. Call 020 7731 6841, and a budget estimate typically follows within seven days.

Cobham houses sit on generous plots, many behind gates on private estates. Shared walls are uncommon.

That makes party structure notices rare. The Act still reaches some work, though.

In the Green Belt, a basement must stay within the house’s footprint. That often keeps it far from neighbours.

Near a boundary, a dig within three or six metres still needs notice.

Boundary walls are the other trigger. Two Cobham Article 4 directions also cover gates, fences and walls.

We check first whether the Act applies at all.

Where it does, notices and awards are priced per project.

Will my Cobham basement need party wall notices?

Only if the dig falls within reach of a neighbour’s building.

Green Belt basements stay under the house, which often keeps them clear.

Does rebuilding a Cobham boundary wall involve the Act?

A new wall on the line of junction needs one month’s notice.

An Article 4 direction may also bring planning, on some Cobham walls.

How common are shared walls on Cobham houses?

Uncommon. Most houses stand detached on their own plots.

Where a pair or terrace exists, the full Act applies.

Who checks a Cobham project against the Party Wall Act?

We do, at the start, from the survey and drawings.

If notices are needed, we serve them well before site starts.
