wait, but, if their costs are in the award, and they are asking for more, they can do one?
I think this is where our thinking is going atm.
We paid for the award. They then wanted more reassuring that our builders would actually follow the award (they're a reputable main contractor so there's no reason to assume they wouldn't).
Along with the link @Kurai posted then I'm hoping we can break down the costs as
1) costs to get to the party wall award
2) costs due to neighbour being awkwardand part 2 gets redirected to the neighbours.
I'm gonna read through the award fully (only scanned it before as it's not my house/extension/neighbours/money). May well be that they're just an expensive surveyor.
Ta both

There's probably someone who knows more than I do, but it seems like the process here got fucked up and your neighbour acted unilaterally and are now expecting you to pay? or the award didn't detail the fees that would be paid to the other surveyor? That's not right, the award should detail / cover the costs.
