Basement Excavations | Topical Talk by Osbornes Law in Hampstead

Defend Yourself from Digging Neighbours
Osbornes Law and Heath & Hampstead Join Forces on Topical Talk

Shilpa Mathuradas, Property Litigation Lawyer and Partner at Osbornes Law and Dr Michael de Freitas, a leading engineering geologist will be offering expert opinion on the subject of basement excavations on Wednesday 19th September in Hampstead.

2017 saw a 183% rise in planning applications for basement extensions, with homeowners seeking to create luxury living spaces within their homes.

The panel will discuss how ‘Below Ground London’ can cope with the increasing demand for basement living and how neighbours can use existing property law to protect themselves from intrusive neighbour excavations.

The talk will discuss whether the current law is suitable for basement excavations and whether adequate protection is given to the parties involved. It will also offer practical suggestions to parties involved.

The discussion is both apt and timely as Hampstead has seen many disputes on basement works.
