NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle party wall notices and awards in Hampstead NW3, 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.

Hampstead houses step down the hill. Next door’s foundations may sit higher or lower than yours.

The excavation notice turns on that. A dig below their foundations, within three metres, needs notice.

Deeper digs reach out to six metres. On a slope, that can include a house further down.

Camden caps damage to neighbours at Burland category 1. Its Basement Impact Assessment is audited independently.

We use that assessment to brief the surveyors. The award then reflects the same monitoring plan.

What the council allows in Hampstead.

What a party wall surveyor costs in Hampstead.

Hampstead party wall work is priced per project, after the ground is understood.

Monitoring set by the award is part of that scope.

Does sloping ground change party wall notice for a Hampstead basement?

It can. The test compares your dig with their foundation depth.

An uphill neighbour’s footings sit higher, so a dig goes below them sooner.

Is the Hampstead impact assessment the same as a party wall award?

No. Camden uses the assessment to decide planning.

The award settles terms with neighbours under the Act. One informs the other.

What does Burland category 1 mean for a Hampstead neighbour?

It is the most damage Camden accepts next door.

Movement is monitored through the build to stay within it.

Can a Hampstead neighbour insist on their own surveyor?

Yes. Each side may appoint one, or both may share one.

The two surveyors then agree the award together.
