What is a Surveyor?
A surveyor is a trained and accredited property professional who plays a pivotal role in ensuring buildings are properly assessed and valued. At its heart, surveying is about clarity, removing uncertainty around the condition, boundaries and value of a property.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a homeowner, investor or buyer, a Surveyor’s job is to provide impartial, factual guidance that allows you to make the right decisions.
At Stokemont, we pride ourselves on the high standards we uphold. Our team is fully regulated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), meaning every report, assessment or inspection we carry out meets strict professional and ethical standards.

How will our Surveyor in Hackney help you?
When should you hire a Surveyor in Hackney?
Knowing when to hire a surveyor can be the difference between a smooth, informed property experience and one plagued by uncertainty, delays and unexpected costs. Surveyors are even more vital in Hackney, a borough with a diverse mix of property styles, ages, and ownership types. Here are some scenarios where you might require our services.- You’re Concerned about a Building’s Structural Integrity – If you’re in the process of buying a property, especially an older building or one that’s undergone multiple changes, it’s crucial to have a surveyor onside. Unlike estate agents, who are there to market and sell properties, Surveyors work exclusively in your interest. We conduct detailed inspections to identify any defects that may affect the property’s safety, value or future maintenance costs. These could include signs of movement, leaks, rot, or outdated building materials. With our support though, buyers in Hackney have a much clearer picture.
- Planning a Home Extension or Loft Conversion – Before undertaking a building project that may affect a shared wall or boundary, it’s vital to engage a Surveyor, especially one with experience in the Party Wall Act of 1996. We’ll help you serve the correct notices, prepare a Schedule of Conditions for neighbouring properties, and draft a legally binding Party Wall Award that protects all parties.
- In Need of an Accurate Property Valuation – Whether you’re buying, selling, refinancing, or handling probate, a precise property valuation is essential. Our RICS-accredited Valuation Surveyors use market trends, comparable data, and first-hand property inspection to deliver impartial figures. Unlike some agents who may overestimate for marketing purposes, our valuations are unbiased and rooted in data.
