CHP Surveyors has worked on Essex schemes since 2004 and operates from offices in Wickford, London and Hampshire. The team is RICS regulated and reaches Chelmsford from the Wickford base within 25 minutes. Local coverage extends to Writtle, Galleywood, Great Baddow, Springfield, Broomfield and Boreham. Many extension instructions in Chelmsford also need rights of light assessments where the works affect lower windows on adjoining houses.
After the assessment the surveyor drafts and serves the statutory notices, gathers adjoining owner responses, and prepares the schedule of condition with photographs and detailed written notes covering external and internal areas of the adjoining property. Where the matter is undisputed the paperwork stays proportionate. Where dispute arises, the party wall award is drafted properly, signed, and served. The same surveyor handles the file from first call to final award. Building owners and adjoining owners across Chelmsford City Council's area get continuity throughout.
Chelmsford projects often run on tight programmes, particularly extensions and refurbishments aiming to complete before summer or ahead of a property sale. Getting notice timing right protects the schedule, avoids invalid awards, and reduces the risk of injunction proceedings or interim awards. The building owner generally covers reasonable surveyor fees on both sides under the Act. To discuss timing on a Chelmsford project, book a free initial assessment.
