Party wall work in Southwark
The southern half of the borough is Victorian terraces: East Dulwich, Peckham Rye, Nunhead and Camberwell, with rear dormers and side-return extensions on street after street. Dulwich and West Dulwich have larger houses, often with bigger rear extensions and the occasional basement.
In the north, Bermondsey and Walworth mix Georgian and Victorian terraces with converted warehouses and newer blocks of flats, where party floors and several owners in one building are common.

Local things that affect party wall work
- The Dulwich Estate. Many homes in Dulwich fall under the Estate's Scheme of Management, which needs its own consent for some alterations. That is separate from planning and from the party wall process, so check it early.
- Conservation areas. Parts of Camberwell, Peckham and Dulwich are conservation areas, which can shape loft and extension designs.
- The council's role. Southwark Council deals with planning and building control, not party wall disputes.
Questions people ask
Is Dulwich Estate consent the same as party wall consent?
No. The Dulwich Estate's Scheme of Management is a separate consent. You may need it as well as planning permission and party wall notices.
Do you cover Bermondsey and Rotherhithe?
Yes, as well as the rest of the borough.
