Introducing Chawton Hill, a key partner of ours who are supporting the development of grassroots football in Surrey.

Here, they explain what they do as an organisation, and how they continue to grow within their industry.___________________________________________________________________________________

So what do you actually do then?

Actually quite a lot more than you might at first think when you hear Chawton Hill, Chartered Surveyors.

The business is well into its late teens now, having been established in 2001 by Stephen Holmes and David Edwards, both Fellows of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. Whilst Building Surveys & Building Projects neatly describes the two areas of our operation, it’s the range of work within these may come as a surprise.

Firstly residential property surveys. Chawton Hill only offers full Building Surveys or what used to be called Structural Surveys.

RICS define three levels of survey types;

Level 1 – Home Condition Report (HCR). The RICS Condition Report describes the condition of the property, identifies any risks and potential legal issues and highlights any urgent defects. It uses simple ‘traffic light’ ratings to clearly identify the condition of the key elements of the property. Typically, the lowest priced of the surveys, it is aimed at conventional properties and newer homes.

Level 2 – HomeBuyer Report (HBR). This is most suitable for conventional properties which are in reasonable condition. The report gives you more detailed information and provides the choice of either a survey or a survey & valuation.

Level 3 – RICS Building Survey. Essential for larger or older properties, or if you’re planning major works. The only survey type we offer providing you with an in-depth analysis of the property’s condition and includes advice on defects, repairs and maintenance options.

In 2017 we packaged our highly successful Building Survey service & offered it together with full administrative and insurance support to RICS surveyors outside of our core Surrey region. Interest was almost immediate and we can now offer the same level of 5 star Trustpilot service to homebuyers in Kent, Middlesex, Dorset & Suffolk, with active plans to expand operations to other counties in Southern England.
