The practice is RICS regulated and our surveyors carry over 30 years of combined experience on residential extension and rooftop work. Schemes typically need party wall services where the new structure ties into a shared wall with adjoining homes.
Where a developer is adding flats above an existing residential block, the role widens to full occupant liaison. We make initial contact with each leaseholder, hold attended meetings to discuss concerns, prepare Schedules of Condition for the flats directly below the new units, and act as the named point of contact through construction. Practical issues, scaffolding, deliveries, parking, access, get resolved as they arise, with rights of light assessments often forming part of the wider workstreams on the same site.
Airspace work in Loughton typically sits alongside daylight and sunlight, rights of light, and party wall workstreams on the same scheme. The same surveyor stays on the project from instruction to completion.
Outcomes from a well-run scheme include programme certainty, fewer damage claims, and planning sign-off without late objections from neighbours. Planning routes in Loughton run through Epping Forest District Council, with some upward extensions falling under permitted development depending on house type and proposed height. A free initial assessment sets out the most likely route early in the project.
