Description
MGI’s Party Wall Consent Advisory service helps hospitality operators navigate the often complex and time-consuming process of securing necessary permissions for structural works affecting shared walls or boundaries. Our experts understand that project delays can significantly impact your business operations and revenue, particularly in the fast-paced hospitality sector. We provide strategic counsel on the Party Wall Act requirements, helping you evaluate whether consent is necessary for your specific project and identifying potential design alternatives that may circumvent the need for formal consent—potentially saving you substantial time and money.
Our team works collaboratively with your contractors, designers and structural engineers to develop innovative solutions that maintain the integrity of your project while minimising disruption to neighbouring properties. Drawing on extensive experience in the hospitality sector, we’ve successfully guided numerous pub, restaurant, and hotel refurbishments through potential party wall complications, ensuring projects remain on schedule while maintaining regulatory compliance and positive neighbour relations.

Our Approach
MGI’s party wall advisory service stands apart through our hospitality-specific expertise and solution-oriented mindset. Rather than simply managing a standard consent process, we actively seek creative alternatives that can save valuable time and costs—particularly crucial for seasonal businesses with narrow refurbishment windows. Our relationships with specialist surveyors and legal advisors ensure that when consent is unavoidable, we secure it as efficiently as possible. We pride ourselves on balancing regulatory compliance with commercial pragmatism, ensuring your hospitality venue can move forward with minimal disruption while maintaining positive community relationships that protect your business reputation.
