Osborn Chartered Surveyors is an RICS-regulated practice based in Essex, operating across London and the South East. We specialise in party wall matters and have handled hundreds of instructions ranging from straightforward loft conversions to complex multi-neighbour and commercial schemes.
We're a small firm — which means when you contact us, you speak directly to a surveyor, not an administrator. We aim to respond to all enquiries within one working day.
