How designation changes a Richmond upon Thames party wall package: Richmond Council maintains 72 conservation areas, including Hampton Wick, Twickenham Riverside, Barnes Village. Inside any of them a Richmond upon Thames party wall package cannot rely on permitted development, and the route becomes a £548 householder application determined in 8 weeks rather than a £249 prior approval in 6 weeks. Richmond Green sets the tone for Richmond upon Thames casework.
Richmond upon Thames permitted development status: there is no borough-wide direction from Richmond Council, so a party wall package at a SW13 address is normally still permitted development. We certify that with a £274 Lawful Development Certificate rather than leaving a Richmond upon Thames sale to argue it later.

Direct answers to the questions Richmond upon Thames homeowners ask every week about party wall services.
Start a free quote →You need Party Wall Act notices if your Richmond upon Thames 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 Richmond upon Thames 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 Richmond upon Thames 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 Richmond upon Thames 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 Richmond upon Thames 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.
