CHP Surveyors has been established since 2004 with offices in Wickford, London and Hampshire. The team is RICS regulated and reaches Maldon within 35 minutes via the A130 and A414. Local coverage extends to Heybridge, Wickham Bishops, Burnham-on-Crouch, Tollesbury and Mundon in the same drive. Larger refurbishment projects often pair with daylight and sunlight reports at the planning design stage.
After the assessment the surveyor drafts and serves the statutory notices, manages adjoining owner responses, and produces a thorough schedule of condition with photographs and written notes covering internal and external areas. Where the matter is agreed paperwork stays proportionate. Where dispute arises the party wall award is drafted properly and served. Calls stay with the same named surveyor running the file from start to finish. Building owners and adjoining owners across Maldon District Council's area get continuity throughout the entire process.
Statutory notice periods under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 are fixed at two months for party structure works and one month for excavations within the relevant proximity thresholds. We recommend starting the process three months ahead of works to absorb the response window. The building owner generally covers reasonable surveyor fees on both sides under the Act. For Maldon projects in conservation areas or alongside listed property, an early free initial assessment sets the project up for a smoother build.
