Neighbour and Stakeholder Relations
Whether you are wanting to start work on your property or have been informed by your neighbour of works happening, we act in your interest and unburden the whole process.
With a 50+ year strong relationship, we’re trusted to offer Emmanuel clear and creative advice
We protect your legal rights and interests to ensure your neighbour does everything correctly, manage any potential conflicts and broker arrangements for you.
Good neighbour and stakeholder relations can sometimes be taken for granted. When it comes to building work possibly affecting these relations, preserving your position is likely to shift to the top of your agenda.
Whether you are wanting to work on a party wall and need a party wall award drawn up, or on land close to your neighbour’s boundary and need a licensing agreement, we lay down the stepping stones and lead you on that journey.
Despite there being a considerable element of emotion when a neighbour’s property is involved, we provide trusted, independent advice on how to manage difficult situations and give clarity on what you technically and legally can and cannot do. We manage your risk.
