EXPERT BUILDING SURVEYORS

Speak With A Chartered Surveyor About Your New Home

WELCOME TO THE HOPPS PARTNERSHIP

We are a firm of Chartered Surveyors with Home Surveys and the Party Wall act. We can help guide you through your property purchase advising you on any defects that the property has. Using this information and a detailed report can help you renegotiate the price of the property to reflect its condition more accurately.

We also deal with all matters under the Party Wall Act. If you are looking to extend your home you will need to deal with your neighbours formally under this piece of legislation. We try to make the party wall process as simple as possible ensuring that everyone is protected appropriately.

Feel free to give us a call to discuss your next exciting project.

WE USE LATEST TECHNOLOGY

We now offer drone imagery for our surveys. Being able to fly a camera drone up and around the building provides so much more information than would have been possible in the past. You will get a complete picture of the property with no areas missed.

To enquiry how we can help and use a drone to survey your project. 

WHAT WE DO

We are proud to be a firm of chartered surveyors regulated by the RICS (The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors). We undertake Home Surveys and use the standard RICS Home Survey format report. These give a detailed outline of the condition of a property including any potential legal and other hidden concerns or defects. We can prepare what are called level I, level II and Level 3 Home Surveys, previously known as Condition Reports, Homebuyer Reports and Building Surveys. These were updated by the RICS in 2021 to the new format, you can find lots of useful information here. These give you complete peace of mind that you are buying a property in good condition or if it is in bad condition will give you the opportunity to renegotiate prior to commitment to purchase.

The Party Wall Act is a legal requirement for anyone undertaking significant building work where they share a wall with a neighbour such as a semi detached or mid terraced property or where they are digging foundations within three or even 6 m of a neighbour depending on the nature of the foundation. The Act can be confusing but we are here to make this simple. Having dealt with all neighbourly matters for many years now will be able to guide you through your project or advise you if your neighbour is undertaking building work.

HOME SURVEYS

For most people, buying a house will mean buying the most expensive thing you own. Most houses are second-hand or older and we can make sure that the property has been well-maintained or highlight defects.

COMMERCIAL SURVEYS

We can prepare a schedule of condition before you take a lease or undertake a pre-acquisition report for your new commercial venture.


PARTY WALL ACT GUIDANCE

Serving a legal notice on a neighbour or being served a notice under the Act can seem worrying. We are here to make the Act simple.

SCHEDULE OF CONDITION

If you just need to record the condition of a building we offer this as a stand-alone service.


TESTIMONIALS

KEITH AUSTIN

Very impressed with Robert’s work. He wrote a very detailed report of our new property that was clear and easy to understand. He also took the time to have a follow up call to give more context to his findings. I feel much more informed about the property we are buying and would highly recommend him to anyone else.
