There are party wall companies who trawl the council planning notices and cold call the neighbours about how they NEED a party wall surveyor. Our neighbours got spooked and engaged one.
TBH we were quite glad in the end. They document the "before" state so it protects you as much as the neighbour. We had no issues but felt safer knowing there was no possibility of malicious/mistaken claims of damage, and in the grand scheme of extension costs it wasn't that much.
Not much consolation today I know, but a bit.

Surveyor not needed unless dispute arises and remember that the surveyor is required to act entirely impartially.

Prick neighbour has appointed their own Surveyor despite the fact the only thing she needed to know about was an excavation notice which is hardly something that can be contested.
Found that out after getting home from a meeting about potentially (likely) not having a job for much longer.
What a fucking day!
