CHP Surveyors has been established since 2004 with offices in Wickford, London and Hampshire. The team is RICS regulated and reaches Southend-on-Sea within 25 minutes via the A127. Local coverage extends to Westcliff-on-Sea, Leigh-on-Sea, Shoeburyness, Thorpe Bay and Chalkwell in the same drive. Larger commercial schemes near the seafront often pair with airspace development advice on rooftop or air rights work, particularly along the High Street corridor and through the central wards.
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 detailed written notes covering external and internal areas. Where the matter is agreed the paperwork stays proportionate. Where dispute arises the party wall award is drafted properly and served. Calls stay with the named surveyor from start to finish. Building owners and adjoining owners across the Southend-on-Sea City Council area get continuity throughout the entire process.
Notice timing under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 is fixed at two months for party structure works and one month for excavations within the relevant proximity thresholds. The building owner generally covers reasonable surveyor fees on both sides under the Act. For Southend-on-Sea projects in conservation areas, where additional planning conditions stack with party wall obligations, an early free initial assessment sets the build up to succeed.
