The team at Collier Stevens were extremely polite and professional throughout. I was very pleased with the Level 3 survey I purchased - it’s definitely a worthwhile investment if you are buying a property. No property is perfect, but the depth of information provided in the Level 3 survey that Collier Stevens undertook gave me peace of mind. It was reassuring to know that a qualified and experienced professional had thoroughly assessed the property and clearly explained any potential issues. I also really appreciated how helpful and courteous all the staff were, which makes a big difference when you are paying a lot of money for a very important service!

I found Collier Stevens after a quick google search of party walls and feel that I could not recommend a team more, their website is full of helpful information and lots of case study examples. They were there to answer all my questions in regards to the Party Wall Act, for some repair works required on the dividing floor of my flat and the flat above within a converted victorian terrace. They helped guide me through the whole process, from the start, using their online template to first serve notice all the way to finish. Wayne and Steve went above and beyond to help me and their receptionist was quick to pass my initial enquiry on to the team with a matter of urgency. Thank you so much will 100% use again.

Once again, this time in south east London rather than deep east Kent , I've found Collier Stevens very helpful, efficient, accommodating and offering competitive rates. I wouldn't hesitate to use again or recommend their services. Having withdrawn from the first suburban property, I have indeed used Collier Stevens again, the third time, and once more been very pleased with all contact and service - recommended.

We used Collier Stevens for a survey on a Victorian conversion flat, as first time buyers we found Steven super helpful and easy to work with. He went above and beyond in advising us what works needed to take place on the property, and followed up the report with a call and a second visit to the property to check the works which was really appreciated. This company came recommended to us by a friend and we'd 100% use them again!

Steven was incredibly helpful and informative. As first time buyers we were very thankful for his honest advice and sound knowledge in an area which can sometimes be rather challenging and daunting if you don't know the lingo!

My son is buying his first property and wanted the assurance that it was structurally sound and good value for money. A friend recommended Collier Stevens, and we were not disappointed. The survey was conducted shortly after we requested it. The report was extremely comprehensive and covered every aspects of the property including many things we were unaware of when we viewed it. Especially useful was the estimated cost of the recommended works. Luckily these were minor but if they had been substantial it would have helped negotiations in respect of a price reduction or in an extreme case whether to buy the property or not. I'm now buying a property and have already commissioned Collier Stevens to undertake a survey for me. When buying a property for hundreds of thousands of pounds the money spent on a structural survey has to be money well spent, and Collier Stevens ensure that is the case.

Collier Stevens have completed full surveys for my last 2 house purchases. I have found the surveyors pleasant and professional during the surveys and a comprehensive report was issued afterwards. It was easy to contact the surveyor if I had any questions or if I needed explanations for any issues raised on the survey. They always gave good advice of asked. I would use them again without fail in future.

Can I serve my own party wall notices in London?

You might be, yes. For straightforward cases you can serve notices using our party wall forms and notice templates. However, mistakes can invalidate the notice and delay your project, so many clients prefer experienced party wall surveyors in South London or across London.
