What they said: “I hope you wouldn’t notice…” 👀

Unfortunately, surveying houses is what we do for a living, so we never miss the mistakes along the way. 🏠🔍

From the obvious to the easy-to-overlook, Nicholas & Co Surveyors know what to look for.

Planning work next door? It’s worth understanding your rights before construction begins.

Works involving shared walls, excavation near a boundary or underpinning can affect your property, making the right notices and documentation important from the outset.

A professionally prepared schedule of condition provides a clear record of your property before works begin, helping to establish whether any damage has occurred later.

If you’re concerned about proposed works next door, speak to Nicholas & Co. on 01992 939201.

Facing a rent review?

A landlord’s proposed figure is only the starting point. Understanding the lease, current market conditions and comparable evidence can make a significant difference when negotiating your next rent.

Nicholas & Co. provides independent rent review advice to help occupiers understand their position and negotiate with confidence.

Get in touch on 01992 939201 to discuss your rent review.

Nobody paints one square metre of a wall for fun.

If the decorating stops halfway up a corner, there's usually a reason it stopped exactly there. Nine times out of ten it's a damp patch, an old leak, a crack that's been filled, or mould that's been wiped down and covered. The paint doesn't fix any of that. It just buys a few weeks.

To be fair, most sellers aren't hiding anything. But a 20-minute viewing isn't where you find out which is which, no ladder, no damp meter, no idea what the wall looked like last winter.

That's the job. We look behind the wallpaper so you don't find out in February.

ÂŁ250 per leaseholder. That's all you can recover if the Section 20 consultation isn't run properly, however big the bill.

A roof. New windows. External redecoration. Anything where one leaseholder's share tops ÂŁ250 needs consultation, and getting the sequence wrong leaves the shortfall with the freeholder or the RMC.

We handle the whole process end to end. Talk to us before the notices go out.

Nobody resurveys a fence. They just replace it, roughly where the last one stood.

Do that a few times over fifty years and the line has quietly walked.

It only matters when you sell, extend, or a neighbour starts asking questions. And the title plan won't help you, those are general boundaries, not exact ones.

A boundary survey gives you the real line, on paper, before anyone falls out over it.

Planning a loft conversion, an extension or anything that touches a shared wall? The notice period isn't the delay, leaving it until the contractor's booked is. Two months for work on an existing party wall, one month for the boundary or excavation, and 14 days for your neighbour to respond. Serve early and it's paperwork. Serve late and it's a stalled site. → nicholassurveyors.com/party-wall-agreements

What you see on the surface is rarely the full picture.

A damp patch, a crack, or flaking plaster is usually just a symptom of a deeper issue within the building. Our Level 3 Building Surveys look past the visible signs to uncover the root cause, giving you a clear path forward and accurate repair estimates before you commit to a purchase.

Protect your investment with a thorough survey.
