About Novello Chartered Surveyors

Moving Beyond the Standard Survey

Buying a home is likely the biggest investment you'll ever make. At Novello Chartered Surveyors, we believe a standard report shouldn't just be a checklist—it should be a roadmap. We’ve supported thousands of buyers across England and Wales, combining RICS-qualified expertise with modern technology to ensure no stone is left unturned.

Why Homebuyers Choose the Novello 'Pro' Upgrade

We know that 'good enough' isn't enough when your savings are on the line. That’s why we developed our Pro upgrade for Level 3 Building Surveys. While others might point out a crack, we go further:

  • Drone Imagery: We get eyes on the roof and chimneys where others can't reach.
  • Costed Recommendations: We provide estimates for repairs over £2,000, giving you the ammunition to renegotiate the purchase price.
  • Faster Turnaround: Because we know the property market moves fast, we prioritise your peace of mind.

A Trusted Partnership: Gold Crest & Novello

Gold Crest Surveyors has now merged with Novello, bringing together a powerhouse team of AssocRICS and MRICS professionals. This merger means you benefit from a deeper pool of local knowledge and a shared commitment to honesty and reliability.

You aren't just a file number to us. You will always deal directly with your surveyor—professionals like Lewis, who are frequently praised for their attentiveness—who will talk you through the findings personally and support you throughout the process.
