CHP Surveyors has been established since 2004 with offices in Wickford, London and Hampshire. The team is RICS regulated and reaches Waltham Abbey within 45 minutes via the M11 and M25. Local coverage extends to Roydon, Nazeing, Sewardstone, Loughton and Theydon Bois in the same drive. Conservation projects in the town centre often need careful coordination, and many instructions also pair with rights of light assessments where works affect windows on adjoining listed property.
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 written notes. For listed and conservation property 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. Calls stay with the named surveyor from instruction through to the final document. Building owners and adjoining owners across the Epping Forest District Council area get continuity throughout.
Notice periods under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 are fixed: two months for party structure works, one month for excavations within the three or six metre proximity thresholds. The building owner generally covers reasonable surveyor fees on both sides under the Act. For Waltham Abbey projects in the conservation area, where planning conditions add their own timing constraints, the early start is even more valuable. To discuss timing, book a free initial assessment.
