About Forrester & Co.
We have been at the heart of the London and Hertfordshire property scene since 1995. As specialist building surveyors, we focus our expertise on the complexities of the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, ensuring that your construction projects or your neighbour's developments proceed smoothly and legally.
Whether you are a homeowner planning a modest loft conversion or a developer breaking ground on a multi-million pound site, we provide the technical precision and diplomatic handling required to manage boundary and structural matters. We believe that expert advice should be accessible, which is why we offer a free initial consultation and a review of your project drawings or notices.
Decades of Chartered Expertise
Our practice is led by Bruce Forrester, a highly qualified Chartered Surveyor with a wealth of professional designations (MRICS, FCABE, MCIArb). With nearly 30 years in the industry, Bruce brings a level of seniority and experience that is vital when navigating complex disputes or high-value developments.
Working alongside him is Scott Forrester, a dedicated Party Wall Surveyor. Together, we provide a family-run feel backed by heavyweight professional credentials. We aren't just here to process paperwork; we are here to protect your property and your peace of mind.

Protecting Your Interests: Building & Adjoining Owners
We understand that property works can be stressful. Our role varies depending on who we are representing, but our commitment to professional integrity remains constant:
- For Building Owners: We identify if the Act applies to your project, prepare and serve the necessary notices, and manage the award process to keep your build on schedule.
- For Adjoining Owners: If you've received a notice, we review the implications for your property. We focus on minimising risk through prudent working methods and detailed Schedules of Condition to ensure any damage is documented and rectified.
- As Agreed Surveyors: In many cases, we act for both parties to provide a neutral, cost-effective resolution that satisfies the requirements of the Act.
Why Homeowners and Developers Choose Us
We are frequently recommended by architects, engineers, and solicitors because we understand the nuances of the law and the practicalities of construction. We don't just 'police' the works; we facilitate them.
From managing escrow accounts for high-risk projects to acting as a Third Surveyor to break deadlocks in complex disputes, we have the experience to handle any scenario. We pride ourselves on being approachable and responsive—you can even reach out to us via our live AI chat for immediate guidance
