Novello Chartered Surveyors

Moving with Confidence Across England and Wales

Whether you are a first-time buyer in South East London or an investor expanding a nationwide portfolio, the right advice is the difference between a sound investment and a costly mistake. At Novello Chartered Surveyors (now incorporating the trusted team from Gold Crest Surveyors), we provide the clear, expert guidance you need to navigate the property market with total certainty.

We aren't a faceless corporate firm. We are a mobile, highly responsive team of RICS-qualified professionals who believe that every client deserves a personal touch. When you hire us, you deal directly with your surveyor, ensuring you can discuss findings in detail and get answers to the questions that matter most to you.

Why Homebuyers Choose the Novello "Pro" Experience

We know that a standard report isn't always enough for complex properties or tight deadlines. While we offer comprehensive Home Survey Level 2 and Building Survey Level 3 reports, we are best known for our Pro upgrade. This service is designed for clients who want deeper insight, faster turnarounds, and the use of cutting-edge technology to identify hidden defects.

Our surveyors—including Managing Director Dean Merryman and senior team members like Lily Churchill, Ben Toogood, and Archie Biggs—take the time to inspect every property with precision. From Victorian villas in Crystal Palace to modern flats in the South Bank, we understand the unique architectural nuances of the regions we serve.

Specialist Valuations and Leasehold Expertise

Beyond standard surveys, we provide a full suite of professional valuation services. Whether you are dealing with a legal requirement or a tax matter, our RICS-qualified valuers provide accurate, evidence-based reports for:

• Tax & Probate: Inheritance Tax, Capital Gains, and Non-Domicile Tax valuations.
• Legal Matters: Matrimonial/Divorce proceedings and Expert Witness valuations.
• Government Schemes: Help to Buy and Right to Buy valuations.
• Leasehold Reform: Specialist advice for Lease Extensions and Collective Enfranchisement.

"Our mission is to remove uncertainty from the buying process. We combine high-tech equipment with a bespoke, friendly service to ensure our clients are the best-informed people in the room."

Expert Support for Party Wall Matters

If you are planning works or have received a notice from a neighbour, our team can act as your Party Wall Surveyor. We represent both property owners and adjoining neighbours, ensuring that all legal requirements are met and your property interests are protected throughout the construction process.
