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.
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. See how cost-effective we are for yourself by getting an instant quote. Most surveyors charge an hourly rate for party wall work- typically 150-250 inc.
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.

Novello are absolutely outstanding surveyors. Brilliant customer service from the outset from Lily and Abby and an incredibly detailed and thorough survey/conversation with Lewis. The survey was hugely enlightening re the property I was about to purchase, flagging so many sinister and concealed issues that it actually caused me to walk away from the sale, no doubt saving me a potential fortune further down the line if I had proceeded. I will, without question, be using Novello for my future purchases and cannot recommend them highly enough.

My second time works with Novello Surveyor team and good experience always.
Abby is very nice and professional in arranging appointment and all follow up. We are well taking care of.
Jack Pye is an excellent surveyor in charging for my family's building survey. This purchase is for redevelopment, Jack takes all our requirements carefully and addresses to these in his report. He is caring and willing to share details and solutions in user language. Jack investigates a lot of structural related details with photos to alert us. His comments are valuable for our complicated project.

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.

Novello is a very efficient professional company and easy to deal with.
On the prescribed date I received by email an extensive and thorough building survey which was supported with multiple photographs. A talk through with the surveyor involved on site was of real value. Understanding critical issues and not walking into the unknown is confidence building.

Excellent service, really pleased and will certainly use again.
I used Novello on recommendation from a friend, and I was delighted with their service. Conducting a survey at short notice in the Christmas period, Mr Brook was superbly thorough and professional, answering all my questions quickly. The post survey report is in-depth but is in layman's terms, meaning that I can understand and learn from it. Unfortunately I am still on the hunt for a property (thanks to a thorough survey) and will certainly look to use Novello again. Thank you very much!

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
