NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle party wall notices and awards in Holland Park W11, 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.
Most Holland Park villas are semi-detached. Each pair shares one party wall, top to bottom.
A basement, a side extension or steels in that wall bring in the Act.
Wide gardens raise a second question. Digging near a neighbour’s foundations needs notice too.
A dig within six metres can need notice, depending on its depth.
We serve the notices, record the neighbouring houses, and agree the award.

Further reading, from the journal
Do I need a party wall surveyor for a Holland Park basement?
Almost certainly. A basement under a semi digs beside the neighbour’s foundations.
It may also underpin the shared wall. Both need notice under the Act.
How far away does a Holland Park neighbour need notice?
Within three metres, if you dig below their foundations.
Within six metres, if the dig cuts a 45 degree line below them.
On a wide villa plot, that can reach the next house.
Why record the house next door before a Holland Park dig?
A schedule of condition records cracks and finishes before work starts.
Photographs and notes are agreed by both sides.
If damage is claimed later, it settles what changed.
Can my Holland Park neighbour stop the work?
Not under the Act. They can dissent, and surveyors then settle the terms.
The award sets how, and when, the work is done.
Planning permission is a separate question.
Who pays for party wall surveyors in Holland Park?
Usually the building owner, for both surveyors’ reasonable fees.
We price it per project, once the scope is known.
