Surveyors in Brentwood
Curious about what a chartered surveyor in Brentwood actually does? You’re in the right place. In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need. This will include the day-to-day role of a surveyor, to how much you can expect to pay for their services.
What is a Surveyor?
A Chartered Surveyor is a trained property expert who inspects and assesses buildings. In Brentwood, surveyors provide essential guidance to homeowners, buyers, and landlords alike. Their role is critical, especially in a property market where every decision can carry serious financial weight.
At Stokemont, we believe a surveyor’s job goes far beyond superficial checks. Our surveyors carry out detailed inspections, carefully examining a building’s structure and condition. The goal? To uncover any problems before they become expensive or dangerous.
Left unchecked, issues like damp, subsidence, or faulty wiring can cause real trouble. They affect not only the value of the property but also its safety and comfort.
That’s why our team looks closely at every corner. We inspect the roof, walls, plumbing, and more, so that we never miss an issue.
But we don’t just point out faults. Our surveyors also give you clear, actionable advice. We’ll talk you through the findings, explain what they mean, and help you understand the financial implications.
Using professional tools, along with our market knowledge, we are able to deliver accurate property valuations. Whether you’re planning to sell, let, insure, or invest, we provide a realistic figure based on current market conditions and the property’s condition.
If you’re planning your next move in Brentwood, whether it’s a purchase, renovation, or legal matter, a Chartered Surveyor can help you make smart, confident decisions.

How will our party wall surveyors in North London help you?
At Stokemont, we offer a full range of professional surveying services. Property valuation is at the core of what we do, but our expertise goes much further. We don’t see valuation as a tick-box exercise. It’s a careful, nuanced process that requires both local knowledge and deep experience. Every property is different, which means each client has unique needs.
Our range of valuation services is unmatched. Our market valuations are ideal for anyone buying, selling or investing in residential or commercial property. These reports take into account current market trends, and the condition of the property to deliver an accurate, up-to-date assessment of its value.
For those arranging or reviewing insurance cover, we provide insurance valuations to ensure your building is correctly insured. This helps you to avoid complications should you ever need to make a claim.
We also offer retrospective valuations, which determine the value of a property at a past date. These are often required for legal or financial reasons, such as during divorce proceedings or tax calculations.
Party wall surveying is another vital service that we provide. If you’re planning any construction near or on a shared wall, the Party Wall Act 1996 likely applies. This law protects both you and your neighbours. But navigating it without help can be risky.
Our surveyors specialise in party wall matters. We handle everything, from serving notices and assessing risks, to resolving objections and ensuring compliance. Whether you’re carrying out works or on the receiving end of them, we act as impartial experts.
Our goal is to avoid conflict where possible. And if not? We protect your legal position while aiming to keep neighbourly relations intact.
When should you hire a Surveyor in Brentwood?
If you’re buying or selling a home in Brentwood, hiring a surveyor might not be top of your list, but it should be. It’s one of the most effective ways to safeguard your investment and avoid nasty surprises.- Need help maximising your property’s value – Selling a property? You want to get the best price. But how do you know where to invest your time and money? That’s where we step in. Our surveyors will carry out a full inspection and let you know what matters most. Sometimes, a simple refresh, like repainting or fixing cracked tiles, can make a big difference. Other times, more significant upgrades might be needed. We’ll help you make the right choices, so you’re not spending money on renovations that won’t increase your return.
- Looking for Expert Legal and Regulatory Guidance – There’s a lot more to selling or buying than meets the eye. Planning permissions, environmental checks, leasehold details, and more. The legal process can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re not used to it. We’re here to make it simple. Our surveyors will guide you through each step. Whether you’re applying for planning approval or need help understanding building regulations, we offer straightforward, expert support. No jargon, just clarity.
- Support with Boundary Disputes – Disputes over property boundaries can be tense and confusing. You may think you know where your land ends, but does your neighbour agree? Our surveyors use precise measurement, detailed land registry documents and professional judgement to settle these disagreements. If things escalate, we can also provide formal reports for legal proceedings. We aim to resolve these issues quickly, professionally, and fairly.

What else should building owners keep in mind?
Above all else, your property must be safe. That includes visible issues like damp or leaks. It also means checking less obvious hazards like old wiring, loose stairs or even asbestos.
We also encourage every property owner to understand their obligations under the Building Safety Act 2022. It’s now a key part of staying compliant and ensuring your home or building meets current standards.
