CHP Surveyors has been established since 2004 with offices in Wickford, London and Hampshire. The team is RICS regulated and reaches Witham within 25 minutes via the A12. Local coverage extends to Hatfield Peverel, Kelvedon, Feering, Coggeshall and Tiptree in the same drive. Larger refurbishment projects in the town centre often pair with daylight and sunlight reports at the design stage, particularly on the period stock close to Chipping Hill.
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 throughout. Building owners and adjoining owners across the Braintree District Council area get continuity from instruction to last document.
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. The building owner generally covers reasonable surveyor fees on both sides under the Act. For Witham projects, particularly those running on tight planning consents from Braintree District Council, an early free initial assessment protects the build schedule from unwelcome delay and gives both sides time to agree on practical terms.
