CHP Surveyors has been established since 2004 and operates from offices in Wickford, London and Hampshire. The team is RICS regulated and reaches Harlow within 50 minutes via the M11 or M25 and A414. Local coverage extends to Old Harlow, Roydon, Sawbridgeworth, Sheering and Hatfield Heath in the same trip. Where extension or refurbishment work affects window levels on neighbouring property, we coordinate rights of light assessments in the same instruction.
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. Where the matter is agreed, documentation stays proportionate. Where dispute arises, the party wall award is drafted properly and served. Calls stay with the named surveyor running the file from start to finish. Building owners and adjoining owners across Harlow District Council's area get continuity throughout the entire process.
Notice timing under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 is fixed at two months for party structure works and one month for excavations within the relevant thresholds. The building owner generally covers reasonable surveyor fees on both sides, including those of the adjoining owner's surveyor. For Harlow projects, particularly those tied into wider regeneration timelines, getting party wall steps in motion early matters. To discuss a specific scheme, book a free initial assessment.
