Clarity between neighbours. Expertise in resolution. Confidence in compliance.

Neighbourly matters sit at the intersection of construction, law, and diplomacy. Whether you’re a developer, building owner, or adjoining owner, construction works close to shared boundaries can give rise to complex technical and legal challenges. CHPK provides impartial advice and expert management to help clients navigate these issues with confidence—protecting relationships, ensuring compliance, and preventing costly disputes.

What we offer

CHPK’s Neighbourly Matters service offers professional advice and support for all aspects of neighbour-related construction issues. We act for both Building Owners and Adjoining Owners to interpret and implement the requirements of the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 and other relevant legislation. From the preparation of Party Wall Awards to the resolution of boundary disputes, our team brings clarity, precision, and experience to what can often be contentious or technically demanding situations. We help ensure your project progresses smoothly, with minimal disruption or conflict.

We provide:

Party Wall Advice and Preparation of Awards – Guidance on compliance with the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 and preparation of legally binding Awards to protect both parties.

Support for Building and Adjoining Owners – Representation and advice for all stakeholders to ensure fair and balanced outcomes.

Dispute Resolution – Expert advice and negotiation to resolve neighbourly or boundary-related disputes efficiently and amicably.

Schedules of Condition – Detailed pre-construction surveys to record the condition of adjoining properties and prevent future disagreements.

Boundary Disputes – Professional assessment and mediation in cases of boundary uncertainty or conflict.

Why it matters

Neighbourly issues, if not properly managed, can delay projects, strain relationships, and increase costs. Early and expert involvement ensures that all parties understand their rights and responsibilities, minimising the risk of formal disputes.

By appointing CHPK, clients benefit from a team that combines deep technical understanding with practical, balanced advice. Our proactive approach supports smooth project delivery, protects property interests, and fosters constructive neighbour relationships—ensuring your development proceeds with professionalism and peace of mind.

It is an absolute pleasure working with the CHPK team and I could not be more happy with the service they provide and the support they have given.
