Fulham in particular sees high volumes of rear extensions, loft conversions and basement projects requiring party wall agreements. The borough's Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Fulham, Parsons Green, Hammersmith and Shepherd's Bush are among the most actively extended and renovated housing stock in west London.
Our RICS regulated surveyors advise building owners and adjoining owners across the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. We manage the full party wall process from initial advice and notice preparation through to schedules of condition, party wall awards and post-completion inspections.
The combination of high property values and dense terraced housing means party wall matters in this borough are frequently complex, involving multiple notice types, detailed engineering drawings and comprehensive protection measures. We provide thorough, professional advice that meets these demands while keeping projects moving forward.
Fulham and Parsons Green see frequent basement projects beneath Victorian terraces. Deep excavation adjacent to neighbouring foundations requires Section 6 notice and a detailed party wall award with engineering method statements.
Ground floor and double-storey rear extensions are common across the borough. Building on the boundary triggers line of junction notice, and foundation excavation near neighbours triggers Section 6 notice.
Converting lofts on Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Hammersmith, Brook Green and Shepherd's Bush involves steelwork into shared party walls. We serve the appropriate notices and manage the process through to award.
Fulham's terraces often have side returns ripe for infilling. Building on or adjacent to the boundary line to create open-plan ground floors requires party wall notice to the adjoining owner.

Yes. Basement excavations within three or six metres of neighbouring foundations require notice under Section 6 of the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. Fulham sees high volumes of basement projects and detailed party wall awards are standard.
Fees depend on project complexity. Standard rear extensions are competitively priced, while basement projects requiring detailed awards cost more. Contact us for a fixed-fee quote.
If your extension builds on or near the boundary, you need line of junction notice. If excavation falls within three metres of neighbouring foundations, Section 6 notice is also required. Most Fulham extensions trigger one or both.
We recommend starting at least two months before your planned construction date. This allows time for notice periods and, if necessary, the preparation of a party wall award by appointed surveyors.
