A Chartered Surveyor can offer so much more : send us a message and we'll explain how we can help.

What if...

  • Our neighbour has moved the fence, we don't think it is in the correct place.
    ​

  • Our neighbour has built an extension and we think it is over the boundary.
    ​

  • We've had building work done, but we're not happy with the quality.
    ​

  • Our builder says they've finished our building work, but there's still stuff left to be completed.
    ​

  • We've got some cracking appearing in our house, we're worried.
    ​

  • There's damp and mould in some of our rooms, we're not sure why, or what to do to stop it.​
     

  • We had a pre-purchase survey done, when buying our house, now we've moved in we've noticed the surveyor we used has missed some problems.

... then you need a Chartered Surveyor

What if...

  • We're planning an extension or renovation to our house, and unsure what Notices to serve.
    ​

  • Our neighbour is starting building work soon and served some Notices on us.
     

  • Next door are building an extension and say that they will dig up our garden to lay foundations, and will come into our garden to build.
    ​

  • We served Notices on our neighbour but they haven't responded, its been over 14-days now.
    ​

  • We've been told that we need access to next door to build, and we may need to underpin their foundations, but they say we can't.​

... then you need a Party Wall Surveyor

An Acreddited Mediator can assist with alternative dispute resolutions in so many areas : send us a message and we'll explain how we can help.

What if...

  • We can't reach an agreement with our neighbour for where the boundary is.
    ​

  • We've been trying to get our builder to rectify some poor workmanship, but they won't admit that there's a problem.
    ​

  • We've had building work done, but we're not happy with the quality.
    ​

  • We had a House Survey carried out by someone who wasn't RICS registered, and they don't have a Complaint Handling Procedure with Ombudsman review.
    ​

  • The Court has said we need to go to mediation to try to resolve the issue before the Judge will hear our case.
    ​

  • Our Legal Advisers are saying we should try to mediate with the other side before we go to Court.

... then you need an Accredited Mediator

What if...

  • We have a boundary dispute with our neighbour and a Claim has been submitted to the Courts, the Court has said we need an Expert Report.
    ​

  • Our Solicitor has advised that we need to instruct a Surveyor who can provide a CPR Part 35 Report about Housing Disrepairs.
     

  • During some building work and dispute has arisen about the quality of the work completed and that it has taken longer than expected, the other party have sent to us their expert's report outlining the issues.
    ​

  • We bought our house recently, but we've found some issues that were not mentioned in another Surveyor's report, but they are saying they didn't miss anything. 

... then you need an Expert Witness
