How Much Does a Party Wall Surveyor Cost?
All fees are inclusive of all correspondence and communications with you, your neighbours and other surveyors, as well as all necessary site visits to conclude the works.
Fees vary depending on the type of work, the number of adjoining owners, whether an agreed surveyor can be used, and whether a Party Wall Award is required.
Simple party wall notices are usually cheaper, while awards involving two surveyors, excavation or higher-risk works can cost significantly more.
A neighbour disputes = Notices + Schedule of Condition + Award = Fixed Cost of £1,530
A neighbour consents = Notices + Schedule of Condition + Conditional Consent = Fixed Cost of £1,470 with conditions
A neighbour consents = Notices + Schedule of Condition = Fixed Cost of £820 with schedule of condition only
A neighbour consents = Notices = Fixed Cost of £225
The building owner undertaking the works is responsible for the payment of other surveyors’ fees that may be appointed by adjoining owners (neighbours) if a dispute arises.
All fees are subject to 20% vat.

When budgeting for your party wall surveyor, you’ll need to consider several factors, which might affect how long a party wall surveyor will take to complete the job, affecting your costs.
You’ll need to consider:
Do I have to pay for my neighbours party wall surveyor? The answer is typically, yes, especially if you are the one who initiated building works.
One exception with party walls, is that if the work being proposed is required due to a defect or repair, then costs may be split between you and the neighbour. How much you’ll pay here will depend on how much you each have of the structure or wall concerned, and which person bears responsibility for the defect repair. Usually, it’s down to the party wall surveyor to decide who covers the costs.
In some instances, a tricky neighbour might require their own surveyor, separate from yours, of whom you’ll need to cover the costs for. Typically, both the adjoining owner and building owner agree to use the same surveyor, but in instances, where they don’t two will be hired to come to an agreement on your behalf. In cases, where the two surveyors cannot reach an agreement, a third impartial surveyor is hired to reach a final decision.
When both owners agree to use a single shared surveyor the costs are much lower, so if in the event that an additional two or three need to be hired you can expect your costs to double or triple.

Offer: We provide fixed-fee party wall pricing (with price match) and also work on hourly rates; Party Wall Awards start from £1,000.
Scope: We quote typical costs as £900–£2,700 for a single (agreed) surveyor, or £1,800–£5,400 where two surveyors are appointed; hourly rates range from £90–£450 (often £200+).
Process: We price based on project complexity, design quality, risk of damage, negotiation time, number of surveyors, and your postcode/location—using an agreed surveyor usually keeps costs lower; extra surveyors can double or triple fees.
On average a party wall surveyor typically costs between £900 and £2,700 depending on the project, while two party wall surveyors can cost between £1,800 and £5,400.
Hourly rates are from £90 to £450 per hour, with average hourly costs often starting from around £200 depending on the complexity of the work.
In most cases, the building owner carrying out the works is responsible for paying the party wall surveyor costs, even if the adjoining owner appoints their own surveyor.
Costs can vary based on the size of the property, the quality of the architectural drawings, the complexity of the renovation, the number of surveyors needed, the risk of damage to neighbouring property, the level of negotiation required and the location of the property.
