Party Wall Department Overview

Woodward Chartered Surveyors are experts in dealing with Party Wall matters.  With a detailed understating of the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, and a comprehensive knowledge of construction, we are able to effectively identify the full extent of any building works proposed by the Building Owners, and how those works may affect an Adjoining Owners’ property.  

The Party Wall department has flourished under in the hands of Stephen Cornish over the last 20 years.  Stephen is acknowledged as a leading authority in Party Wall legislation, and is heavily involved as a director of the Faculty of Party Wall Surveyors, where he shares his detailed knowledge of the Act with the members at training events, seminars, webinars and contributions to the faculty newsletter.  

His in depth knowledge of the Act, building construction and case law mean he is often selected as the Third Surveyor in Party Wall matters, where his opinions are highly regarded.

David Vizard works closely with Stephen, and his expertise, professionalism and work ethic means he is well liked and respected by other surveyors in the industry.
