Services
Collier Stevens Chartered Surveyors was established by Steven Way MRICS in 1995 to provide client friendly, easy to understand and fairly-charged professional advice. Steven is assisted by Chartered Surveyors Grahame Dowse FRICS, Andy Avery MRICS, and graduate surveyor Matthew Raisey BSc along with a first class admin team.
Buying a property to live or work in is the biggest financial commitment most people ever make. Many buyers do not commission independent building surveys or homebuyer reports but the right survey will almost certainly draw your attention to defects that you didn't know existed and enables you to make an informed, objective and considered decision and, possibly renegotiate your purchase price.
Buying a property to live or work in is the biggest financial commitment most people ever make. As many as 80% of buyers do not commission independent building surveys, homebuyer reports or other property inspections. The right survey will almost certainly draw your attention to defects that you didn't know existed, or the seriousness of which you may not have appreciated.
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 ("the Act") came into force in 1997 throughout England and Wales. As important as Planning Consent & Building Regulation Approval, it is your responsibility, not the Local Authority's, to find out whether that work falls within the Act and whether you need a Party Wall Agreement, properly known as a 'Party Wall Award'.
Disputes are to be avoided but when a matter becomes litigious it is often necessary to obtain an expert's report. These are usually required to be presented in a particular format (CPR35). Collier Stevens provides expert witness services for residential property matters across London & Kent. Landlord & tenant service charge disputes where we have acted for both freeholders and leaseholders.

Steve Way is by far the most helpful and approachable surveyor I have dealt with. He provides an efficient and professional service and on receiving the report he is happy to discuss any aspects of it with you if needed. He is also happy to meet at the property for the last 15 minutes of the survey if there is something specific you'd like to discuss with him. I cannot recommend Collier Stevens enough!

I will be recommending Collier Stevens to all my friends I have nothing but praise for their handling of my move . Their surveys have both ( my 1st choice of house was a disaster) been so thorough and easy to understand and anything I didn't was explained. Over the course of my move I have spoken to most of their staff who have been courteous and knowledgeable. I also feel that their fees are very reasonable given the level of service they offer .

Buying a house can be a bit of a gamble especially if like us to an unknown and new location. Meeting Steve after he had conducted the Survey put to rest any fears or worries that we may have had immediately without the added stress of waiting for the final report, it also allowed us the time to walk through the property and talk through the feasibility of remodeling plans and ideas for the future. Steve is a thoroughly nice Guy and did not rush us and was incredibly helpful and insightful, giving us some great tips and ideas that we hadn't thought about too.
