  • Cheers. Yes, I don't have any issue with using the council party wall supplier.

    My issue is that no-one from the council responds to emails or appears to know who I should contact. Two weeks in and I'm still waiting for someone to respond despite multiple calls and emails.

  • you need to make sure your notices are in order.

    you issue a correct notice, they have 14 days to respond. if no response, a dispute is deemed to have arisen and you sent them a '10 day letter' which gives them 10 days to appoint a surveyor. if they do not, you need to appoint one on their behalf.

    if you do not get this right, the whole process is invalid and they can injunct.

  • Cheers, I wasn't aware of the 10 day letter.

    My issue though is that no-one will even respond to let me know who the notice should go to. I suspect sending it to the Mayor and Burgesses (as named on the title deed) will be a guarantee of nothing happening.

    The absolute incompetence of the council makes me fear that I'm going to have to delay the build because no-one has the courtesy to respond to emails or calls.
