CHP Surveyors has been established since 2004 with offices in Wickford, London and Hampshire. The team is RICS regulated. From Wickford we reach Clacton-on-Sea within an hour via the A120 and A133, covering Holland-on-Sea, Jaywick, Frinton-on-Sea, Walton-on-the-Naze and St Osyth within the same trip. Larger schemes in the coastal strip sometimes also need daylight and sunlight reports alongside the party wall work.
From there we draft and serve the statutory notices, manage adjoining owner responses, and prepare the schedule of condition with photographs and full written notes. The schedule covers external and internal areas of the adjoining property in detail. Where the matter is agreed, documentation stays proportionate. Where dispute arises, we prepare and serve the party wall award. Calls stay with the named surveyor. Building owners and adjoining owners across Clacton-on-Sea get continuity from first call to final award.
Notice periods under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 are fixed: two months for party structure works, one month for excavations within the relevant thresholds. Building owners generally cover reasonable fees on both sides under the Act. Coastal sites with bespoke foundation design and projects close to listed neighbouring property particularly benefit from getting party wall steps in motion early. To discuss a Clacton-on-Sea project, book a free initial assessment.
