Novello Chartered Surveyors was established to challenge the traditional role of surveyors in the house buying process. Having previously worked for a variety of mortgage valuers and independent surveying firms, we understand that nothing frustrates clients more than an un-responsive, slow surveyor who issues a low quality report with little follow up advice and care.
We take a friendly and responsive approach, viewing ourselves as your property partners in the whole process rather than just giving snapshot advice. RICS Young Surveyor of the Year- Residential Property James Brook is an award-winning Chartered Surveyor and RICS Registered Valuer with a focus on the survey and valuation of residential properties across London and Surrey.

Services
Most surveyors charge an hourly rate for party wall work- typically 150-250 inc. VAT. However, here at Novello we try to be as transparent as possible and offer a set fee price. Visit our Party Wall Agreement Costs and Fees page for full details on our prices and how these are calculated. At Novello Chartered Surveyors, we're here to guide you through the entire process.
Our fees for surveys are worked out based upon the property's purchase price and floor area. Our fees for valuations are factored on the property's estimated value.

Our team of AssocRICS and MRICS chartered surveyors can examine the condition of your home, identify problems and provide invaluable advice. Our adaptive approach to surveying allows us to provide our clients with a bespoke, timely and accurate service. We're not just here to point out issues. We exist to guide you through the purchasing process, helping you protect your investment along the way.
Over the years, we've seen all sorts of defects in homes of all ages. That's why neglecting to have a new home surveyed is rarely a wise idea (and it won't help you save money). It's easy to be seduced by the appearance and feel of a home while ignoring problems ranging from foundation issues to damp and everything in between.
Before you buy a property in London, Surrey, Kent, Hertfordshire, Hampshire or Sussex you should find out whether you're about to bring your dreams to life or flush hundreds of thousands of pounds down the drain. At Novello Chartered Surveyors, we uncover defects in homes to help you secure peace of mind with regards to your investment.

I would highly recommend Novello for a building survey - I requested for a quote online and got immediate response, and a follow up email to highlight the details of what is included which I found very useful when comparing services. The office team were fantastic and went above and beyond to get me onto the earliest appointment available.
The surveyor called on the day of the survey and gave me a very thorough run through of their findings as well as the report sent into my inbox the following morning.
All in all very satisfied and huge thanks to the team!

We recently instructed Novello to do a Full Building Survey on a house we are purchasing. From the initial phone call through to the survey everyone I have spoken to has been friendly and incredibly helpful. Surveys are expensive but you get what you pay for and the service has been fantastic. Lewis called us straight after the survey was completed and went through everything with us over the phone and followed that up with the full written survey. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Absolutely amazing surveyors - can't rate them highly enough. James discovered a major structural issue in a property within 30 minutes of the survey that I was considering purchasing, that the seller's surveyors and 3 mortgage surveyors hadn't spotted. James then followed up with me over call and email several times to help me through the next steps, understand a potential valuation and spoke to the estate agents directly to explain the issue. The whole team was fantastic and professional. Wouldn't go with anyone else in future.

James carried out a building survey for me recently. Report very thorough and easy to understand and brought to my attention some issues that I had overlooked. The report allowed me to renegotiate the purchase price with the vendor and I was successful in bringing the purchase price down by £25k! I know some people baulk at the cost of a professional valuation, however this has always seemed a false economy to me. If you are purchasing a property then do the sensible thing and get yourself a decent valuation as it is worth every penny.
Communication throughout was excellent and report produced
