Novello Chartered Surveyors

Moving Forward with Confidence Across England and Wales

Buying a home is likely the biggest investment you'll ever make. At Novello Chartered Surveyors, we believe you deserve more than a generic checklist. Whether you are a first-time buyer or a seasoned investor, our mission is to remove the 'what-ifs' from your purchase.

We have merged the heritage of Gold Crest Surveyors with our modern, tech-driven approach to provide a service that is as thorough as it is accessible. With over 2,800 'Excellent' Trustpilot reviews, we’ve built our reputation on being the trusted advisor you can actually talk to.

Why Our 'Pro' Upgrade is a Game Changer

Standard surveys often leave you with a list of problems but no idea how much they’ll cost to fix. Our Building Survey Pro is designed to change that. We don't just spot the issues; we give you the tools to negotiate effectively.

• Drone Imagery: We see what others can't, providing high-resolution views of roofs and chimneys.
• Costed Recommendations: For repairs over £2,000, we provide estimates so you know exactly what is at stake.
• Faster Turnaround: Because we know speed is vital in a competitive property market.

Direct Access to Your RICS Surveyor

We don't hide behind admin teams. When you hire us, you deal directly with your RICS-qualified surveyor (AssocRICS or MRICS). They will take the time to walk you through the findings over the phone, explaining the difference between a minor cosmetic flaw and a structural red flag.

Beyond the Building Survey

Our expertise extends far beyond structural inspections. We support homeowners and legal professionals with a full suite of RICS-compliant valuation services and specialist property matters:

1. Leasehold Reform: Expert valuations for lease extensions and collective enfranchisement.
2. Tax & Legal Valuations: From Probate and Inheritance Tax to Matrimonial and Expert Witness reports.
3. Party Wall Matters: Acting for both building owners and neighbours to ensure smooth transitions.
4. Affordable Housing: Specialist valuations for Help to Buy and Shared Ownership.

"We put honesty, reliability, and value at the core of everything we do, acting as your trusted advisor to ensure you never make a poor investment."

Tailored Advice for Every Property
