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. Camden coverage extends from Hampstead through Camden Town, Bloomsbury and King's Cross to the borough boundary with Islington. Many basement and extension projects also 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 detailed schedule of condition with photographs and full written notes. For listed property and conservation work in Hampstead and Bloomsbury the schedule includes additional detail on materials, decorative features, and any visible defects. 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 Camden get continuity from first contact through to the final document.
Notice periods under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 are non-negotiable: 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. For Camden projects, particularly basement digs in conservation areas, getting the process moving early protects timeline and budget. To discuss a specific scheme, book a free initial assessment.
