Few firms can match the depth of specialist knowledge that Anstey Horne has developed over more than two centuries.

Today, our teams combine that long-established experience with modern surveying techniques, specialist technical analysis and an in-depth understanding of current legislation, professional standards and industry practice.
If you are planning works near a boundary in England or Wales, understanding Party Wall Rights of Entry & Access is critical. The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 provides clear statutory powers – and limits – around entering neighbouring land, erecting scaffolds or hoardings, and keeping people and property safe while work proceeds.
