Client: Premier Inn - London

A large Hotel Chain received Party Wall Notices in connection with work proposed for the site next door.

Following an initial meeting with the Developer, it was clear that they required access onto and over the Neighbour’s site for a greater extent than that granted by the Party Wall etc Act 1996.

We consulted with the Hotel and, following receipt of instructions, we were able to negotiate and agree suitable commercial arrangements for them, including:

· a crane oversailing licence
· a scaffolding licence
· right to Light Deed
· payment of our fees and that incurred by their Solicitor in   respect of advising on this matter
· a Party Wall Award in connection with the works

“Neighbourly matters” is a collective term which covers a number of specialist building consultancy skills that we undertake including:

· access agreement
· access to Neighbouring Land Act 1992
· boundary disputes
· construction noise and pollution
· daylight and sunlight
· expert witness
· Party Wall Etc Act 1996
· rights to light
· rights of way and escape
· schedule of condition
