Service overview

What this service covers.

Recipients unsure whether a notice is complete, valid or correctly addressed.

A notice review checks the parties, property, statutory route, work description, supporting information, service method and dates. It also explains the recipient’s response options without treating a technical defect as a tactical weapon.

When this service may be relevant

  • You have received a notice and are unsure what it means.
  • Names, ownership, drawings, dates or the work description appear incomplete.
  • The proposed start date or notice type does not match the work.

Legal or procedural basis

Notice requirements under sections 1, 3, 6 and 15.

Who this is for

    Review the statutory route, parties, work description, attachments, dates and apparent method of service.

  2. 02

    Compare the project

    Check the notice against the drawings and work actually proposed.

  3. 03

    Explain the response

    Set out consent, dissent, Agreed Surveyor and separate-surveyor options, including relevant deadlines.

Questions about Notice Validity & Response Review

Useful context before you instruct.

General information only. Advice on a particular property requires the relevant documents and facts.

01Do I have to explain why I dissent?

The government forms note that an owner is not obliged to state objections, although identifying specific concerns can help the surveyors resolve matters efficiently.

02Can notices be served by email?

Statutory documents may be sent by email where the recipient has agreed to receive them that way and has not withdrawn that agreement.
