Anderson Gover

Six Decades of Property Expertise in Lewisham

We aren't just surveyors; we are a fixture of the South East London property landscape. With a history spanning over 60 years, Anderson Gover has evolved from a family firm into a specialist practice dedicated to the private residential sector.

Whether you are a homeowner navigating a complex boundary dispute or a leaseholder looking to extend your term, we bring a depth of local knowledge that only comes from decades on the ground in Lewisham and Hither Green.

Led by Christopher Smith, FRICS

Our practice is steered by Christopher Smith, a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors with over 50 years of professional experience. Having qualified in 1973, Christopher has spent his career mastering the intricacies of building works, valuations, and property law.

As a member of the Leasehold Valuers' Forum, Christopher ensures our clients receive expert-level representation in leasehold enfranchisement and First-tier Tribunal matters. We balance our work equally between lessors and lessees, giving us a 360-degree perspective on every negotiation.
