Every Brent postcode district we draw in, the stock that dominates it and the authority that validates a party wall package there. Brent fees below are the statutory England rates for 2026, not party wall package estimates.
| Postcode | Area | Dominant stock | What it means for a party wall package |
|---|---|---|---|
| NW2 | Cricklewood / Neasden | Edwardian villas and terraces | NW2 straddles a boundary: Cricklewood / Neasden addresses fall to Brent Council or Barnet Council or Camden Council, so confirm which authority validates the party wall package before submitting NW2 drawings. |
| NW10 | Willesden / Harlesden / Kensal Green | Modern apartments, post-war estates | NW10 straddles a boundary: Willesden / Harlesden / Kensal Green addresses fall to Brent Council or Ealing Council, so confirm which authority validates the party wall package before submitting NW10 drawings. |
| HA0 | Wembley / Sudbury | 1930s semi-detached, new-build | HA0 covers Wembley / Sudbury only; Brent Council handles the party wall package, and Wembley / Sudbury case officers apply the HA0 conservation-area map. |
| HA9 | Wembley / Wembley Park | 1930s semi-detached, new-build | HA9 covers Wembley / Wembley Park only; Brent Council handles the party wall package, and Wembley / Wembley Park case officers apply the HA9 conservation-area map. |
| NW6 | Kilburn / West Hampstead / Queen's Park | Mansion blocks, post-war flats | Kilburn / West Hampstead / Queen's Park is split at NW6. Either Camden Council or Brent Council can determine a party wall package here, so the NW6 address is checked against both policies maps first. |
| NW9 | Colindale / Kingsbury | Post-war flats, new-build | Colindale / Kingsbury is split at NW9. Either Barnet Council or Brent Council can determine a party wall package here, so the NW9 address is checked against both policies maps first. |
Roof pitch, wall build-up and plot depth change every few Brent streets, and each one changes what a party wall package can achieve at that address.
Brent conservation designations: there are 22 across Brent Council, Kensal Green, Harlesden, Sudbury Court among them. Designation costs a Brent owner the permitted-development route: a party wall package then needs a £548 householder application over 8 weeks, in place of the £249 prior approval route that takes 6 weeks. Harlesden is the Brent designation that most often changes a party wall package design.
Brent and Article 4: Article 4 for HMO conversions in specific streets around Wembley and Harlesden. A party wall package planned at a NW2 address is checked against that direction first; Brent Council publishes the Brent extent, and the NW2 line rarely follows the Brent boundary you would expect.

Direct answers to the questions Brent homeowners ask every week about party wall services.
Start a free quote →You need Party Wall Act notices if your Brent project involves: building on or astride a boundary (Section 1), cutting into a party wall or party structure (Section 3), or excavating within 3m/6m of an adjoining property's foundations (Section 6). Most loft conversions, extensions and basement digs in Brent trigger at least one section.
If your neighbour consents, that is the whole cost. If they dissent, surveyors must be appointed for the Award and their fees are additional, per neighbour. Notices are included in our Complete architectural packages at no extra charge. See our fees.
If all adjoining owners in Brent consent: 14 days (Section 3/6 notice) or 1 month (Section 1 notice). If they dissent and surveyors must be appointed, allow 6–8 weeks for the Award. We serve notices as early as possible so the process runs in parallel with your planning application.
No — starting notifiable works in Brent before serving valid notices or obtaining a Party Wall Award is a breach of the Party Wall Act 1996. It can result in injunctions, damages and loss of your statutory protections. We ensure notices are served at the right time so your build timeline is not delayed.
If an adjoining owner in Brent does not respond within 14 days, the Act deems them to have dissented. This triggers the surveyor appointment process — you appoint a surveyor, they can appoint their own (at your cost) or you can agree on a single 'agreed surveyor'. We manage this process and keep it moving.
