What shapes house extension in Wimbledon
Could house extension in Wimbledon involve the Party Wall Act?

For a Wimbledon house extension scope, neighbour and boundary questions are flagged only when the address evidence makes them relevant. Formal notices, awards and surveyor appointments remain with the building owner and appointed surveyors; any required appointments must be agreed separately.
If you already hold a party-wall notice, award or neighbour correspondence, attach it with photographs so professional input can be sequenced before irreversible build steps. An appointed surveyor can advise on the notice or agreement needed for the proposed work.
