CHP Surveyors has been established since 2004 with offices in Wickford, London and Hampshire. Our London head office at Boundary Row in SE1 is RICS regulated and delivers specialist chartered surveying on dense urban sites with technical depth. Hackney coverage extends from Shoreditch and Dalston through Hackney Central, Clapton and Stoke Newington to the borough boundary with Newham. Warehouse conversion and infill projects often pair with airspace development advice on rooftop work.
After the assessment the surveyor drafts and serves the statutory notices, manages adjoining owner responses, and produces a detailed schedule of condition with photographs and full written notes. For warehouse conversions the schedule covers existing structural elements, party walls between units, and any commercial fit-out features. Where the matter is agreed paperwork stays proportionate. Where dispute arises the party wall award is drafted properly and served. Building owners and adjoining owners across Hackney get continuity throughout the entire process.
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 Hackney projects, particularly warehouse conversions and basement digs with complex structural implications affecting adjoining buildings, an early free initial assessment reduces risk on both sides.
