The Surveyor Behind LENIO

Experienced Party Wall Surveyor Team

What Chartered Party Wall Surveyor Credentials Mean for Your Project

LENIO is led by Sadadcharam Easwaran. He is a Chartered Civil Engineer and Member of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE). He is also a Chartered Building Engineer and Member of the Chartered Association of Building Engineers (CABE).

He has extensive experience working as a Party Wall Surveyor across London. In that time, he has managed all types of party wall matters. These range from straightforward notices on rear extensions to complex Party Wall Awards on basement excavations and structural works in dense urban areas.

In practice, when you contact LENIO, you speak directly with him. Not a call handler. Not a junior member of staff. The chartered Party Wall Surveyor who manages your matter from start to finish.

One surveyor. Your project. Start to finish.

Credentials That Count

Why Qualifications Matter in Party Wall Work

In practice, ICE and CABE are not titles you are simply given. They are memberships that require proven competence, ongoing training and following a code of conduct. Here is what they mean for your project.

ICE – Institution of Civil Engineers

In short, a Chartered Civil Engineer understands how structures behave. Load spread, ground movement, foundation behaviour, the effect of excavation on neighbouring structures. For party wall matters involving basement digs, deep foundations or structural works on shared walls, this technical knowledge shapes every assessment. As a result, it informs every document Sadadcharam produces.

CABE – Chartered Association of Building Engineers

Also, a Chartered Building Engineer understands how buildings are built and how works affect existing fabric. For party wall matters, this means a precise knowledge of how proposed works interact with a neighbouring property. In turn, it informs the Schedule of Condition, the Party Wall Award, and every decision made during the process.

Together, these credentials mean you are working with an experienced party wall surveyor who understands the structural and construction impact, not just the paperwork behind them.

How We Work

How We Approach Party Wall Matters

Our Vision

To be London's most trusted Party Wall surveying practice, recognised for providing clear advice, professional expertise, and fair outcomes for both Building Owners and Adjoining Owners.

Our Mission

To deliver a professional, efficient, and fully compliant Party Wall service that enables property owners to undertake building works with confidence while protecting the interests of neighbouring properties.

Clarity

We believe every client should understand the Party Wall process and their obligations under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. We explain matters clearly and in plain English, ensuring you always know what is required, what to expect, and what happens next.

Fairness

The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 requires surveyors to act impartially when determining Party Wall matters. Professional integrity and fairness are at the heart of our approach, helping to build trust and achieve balanced outcomes for all parties involved.

Compliance

A properly managed Party Wall process helps avoid unnecessary delays, disputes, and costs. We ensure that every notice, appointment, schedule of condition, and Party Wall Award is prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Act.

Professionalism

We combine specialist Party Wall expertise with extensive engineering and construction experience to deliver practical, informed advice. Every instruction is handled with diligence, attention to detail, and a commitment to high professional standards.

Good Neighbour Relations

The Party Wall process is designed not only to protect property interests but also to encourage constructive communication between neighbours. By managing matters professionally, we help reduce the potential for conflict and support positive neighbour relationships.

Project Experience

Experience Across a Wide Range of Party Wall Projects

Over the years, LENIO Party Wall Surveyors has advised homeowners, developers, Building Owners, and Adjoining Owners on a wide variety of Party Wall matters throughout London and the South East. Our experience covers both straightforward residential projects and more complex schemes involving structural alterations and significant excavation works.

Rear and Side Extensions

Providing Party Wall advice and preparing the necessary notices and awards for extensions that involve excavation near neighbouring foundations or works close to a shared boundary.

Loft Conversions

Advising on works involving party walls, including the installation of structural steel beams and alterations to shared structures within terraced and semi-detached properties.

Basement Developments

Managing complex Party Wall matters associated with deep excavations, underpinning works, retaining structures, and potential impacts on adjoining properties.

Structural Alterations

Advising on projects involving chimney breast removals, wall removals, underpinning works, and other structural modifications affecting party walls and neighbouring buildings.

Boundary Wall & Line of Junction Works

Providing guidance on new boundary walls, alterations to existing boundary structures, and other works governed by the provisions of the Party Wall etc. Act 1996.

Residential & Commercial Developments

Supporting projects ranging from individual home improvements to larger residential and commercial developments requiring specialist Party Wall expertise.

Regardless of the size or complexity of the project, our approach remains the same: to provide clear advice, ensure compliance with the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, and help projects proceed efficiently while protecting the interests of all parties involved.

Impartial by Statute

Independent, Fair and Professional

One of the most misunderstood aspects of the Party Wall process is the role of the Party Wall Surveyor.

Many people assume that a surveyor acts solely for the person who appoints them. However, under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, a Party Wall Surveyor has a statutory duty to act impartially and fairly when carrying out their responsibilities.

Whether appointed by a Building Owner or an Adjoining Owner, a surveyor must make decisions based on the requirements of the Act and the facts of the case. Their responsibility is to ensure that the Party Wall process is administered correctly, that the rights of all parties are respected, and that any Party Wall Award is fair and legally sound.

At LENIO Party Wall Surveyors, this principle is central to everything we do. We believe that professionalism, integrity, and independence are essential to maintaining trust throughout the Party Wall process.

Led by Chartered Engineer and Party Wall Surveyor Sadadcharam Easwaran, LENIO provides balanced, practical advice that protects the interests of both Building Owners and Adjoining Owners while helping projects proceed efficiently and in accordance with the Party Wall etc. Act 1996.

Appointed by One Party. Fair to All Parties.

Whether acting for a Building Owner or an Adjoining Owner, we approach every matter with professionalism, impartiality, and respect for all parties involved, achieving fair outcomes while maintaining positive neighbour relationships wherever possible.
