Buckley’s Chartered Building Surveys Co Ltd

Three Decades of Expertise Across the South East

We aren't just another surveying firm; we are a team led by a Chartered Surveyor with over 30 years of professional practice. Having inspected thousands of properties across Greater London and the M25 orbital, we bring a depth of knowledge that only comes from decades on the ground.

Why Homeowners and Buyers Trust Our Reports

Buying a property is likely the biggest investment you’ll ever make. We see our role as your technical safeguard. We don't just "look" at a house; we investigate it. Our team uses specialised equipment—including long-lens cameras, binoculars, damp meters, and ladders—to ensure we reach the parts others might miss.

From the chimney stacks down to the foundations, including outbuildings and even swimming pools, we leave no stone unturned. Our goal is to provide you with a clear, objective appraisal that gives you the leverage to renegotiate or the peace of mind to walk away.

Navigating the Party Wall Act 1996

If you are planning an extension or a loft conversion within 3 to 6 metres of a neighbour, the legal complexities can be daunting. We specialise in helping you navigate these requirements without the stress:

• Reviewing Plans: Determining exactly if and where the Act applies to your project.
• Serving Notices: Ensuring all legal paperwork is served correctly to avoid "Stop Notices" or demolition orders.
• Dispute Prevention: Acting as a professional buffer to keep your project moving and your neighbourly relations intact.

A Bespoke Approach to Every Instruction

We believe in clear communication, not corporate jargon. Whether you need a Level 2 Homebuyer Report for a modern flat or a comprehensive Level 3 Building Survey for an older, complex property, we tailor our assessment to the specific risks of that building.

"Our core values of integrity and accountability mean we take full responsibility for every report we sign. We treat your potential home with the same respect we would our own."

Comprehensive Inspections, Clear Results

When we visit a property, we aren't just checking boxes. We provide a forecast of necessary repair costs to help you manage your budget effectively. A few days after our inspection, you will receive a detailed report that breaks down the condition of every building element, supported by our in-depth knowledge of Building Regulations.

We cover a wide geographical footprint, including:

• Middlesex & Surrey
• Hertfordshire & Buckinghamshire
• Essex & Kent
• Greater London (M25 Orbital)
