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. Waltham Forest coverage extends from Walthamstow and Leyton through Leytonstone and Chingford to Highams Park and Wood Street. Many 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. Stage three handles the party wall award where dispute arises, or proportionate paperwork where the matter is agreed without dispute. The named surveyor stays on the file throughout. Building owners and adjoining owners across Waltham Forest get continuity from first contact through to the final document.
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 Waltham Forest projects, particularly Walthamstow Village conservation work and basement digs in period property, an early free initial assessment at the design stage reduces risk on both sides.
