The process
How building survey coordination is scoped in Hampstead

Send close-up and wide photographs plus the full NW3 unit postcode for Hampstead. Include access notes (floor, parking, freeholder rules) when tools or materials must reach the work.
Submit a private brief
Use the online brief or call. We review the job details, access, any permissions needed and availability before arranging work in Hampstead.
Receive a written next step
We set out the agreed building survey coordination and price in writing for your property in Hampstead. We confirm a booking after the scope and availability are agreed.

Camden's Hampstead Conservation Area and building survey coordination in Hampstead
Hampstead records Camden's Hampstead Conservation Area. That is a mapped designation, not a blanket NW3 rule — confirm the exact unit still sits inside the boundary.
For building survey coordination, the designation can affect visible external changes — roofs, vents, soil pipes, front elevations and windows. Formal consent stays with Camden, and only its officers can decide an application.
Could building survey coordination in Hampstead involve the Party Wall Act?
Some building survey coordination briefs in Hampstead may raise neighbour interfaces under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 — for example works to a shared wall, excavations near a boundary, or new structures astride a boundary. Not every building survey coordination job is a party-wall matter.
For a Hampstead building survey coordination scope, neighbour and boundary questions are flagged only when the address evidence makes them relevant. Formal notices, awards and surveyor appointments remain with the building owner and appointed surveyors; this page does not decide them.
If you already hold a party-wall notice, award or neighbour correspondence, attach it with photographs so professional input can be sequenced before irreversible build steps. An appointed surveyor can advise on the notice or agreement needed for the proposed work.
