Chestfield Surveyors, Price Lilford Ltd.
A Local and Independent RICS Chartered Surveying Service
Chestfield Surveyors are independent Chartered Surveyors covering Whitstable, Swalecliffe, Tankerton, Chestfield and the surrounding area. We provide expert, tailored advice on all types of property and buildings, including residential and commercial buildings.
When purchasing your new home, the right survey by a qualified Chartered Surveyor can help you make an informed final decision on a property. If your Chartered Surveyor identifies any significant defects in the property being inspected, your professional survey report may help you renegotiate the purchase price.

Party Wall Act Surveys and Services
We are able to provide Party Wall surveys and awards for residential and commercial properties, as well as schedules of condition and dilapidations.
Under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, every ‘adjoining owner’ is subject to the provisions of the Act when one person carries out work on their home. In a typical domestic property scenario this is usually limited to one or two parties. Larger commercial developments can encompass many freehold properties and tenanted properties. The notices and recording of condition should always follow the protocol of the Party Wall Acts. Chestfield surveyors often act for the party carrying out the building works, as joint surveyors acting to make sure matters are appropriately dealt with as well as for the neighbouring property owners to protect their interests or as joint agreed surveyors
