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. Lewisham coverage extends from Deptford and New Cross through Brockley, Catford and Forest Hill to Hither Green and Lee. Many basement and extension projects also pair with rights of light assessments at the planning design stage.
Stage two is notice drafting and service, managing adjoining owner responses, and preparing a detailed schedule of condition with photographs and full written notes covering external and internal areas of the adjoining property in proper detail. Stage three handles the party wall award where dispute arises, or proportionate paperwork where the matter is agreed. Throughout, the named surveyor stays on the file. Building owners and adjoining owners across Lewisham get continuity from instruction through to final award.
Notice periods under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 are fixed: 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 Lewisham projects, particularly basement work in conservation areas and large terrace extensions, an early free initial assessment at the design stage reduces risk on both sides.
