The March 2026 RICS Residential Market Survey recorded a house price net balance of -15% — one of the weakest professional sentiment readings in recent quarters.

Over 40% of neighbour disputes linked to construction work escalate because hidden defects — damp, voids, thermal bridges — are missed during the initial schedule of condition. The integration of thermal imaging applications in party wall surveys is changing that reality, and the RICS 8th Edition consultation launched in 2026
Fewer than one in three homeowners affected by party wall works realise they may be entitled to compensation not just for repair costs — but for the lasting reduction in their property's market value.
