Novello Chartered Surveyors, one of London’s fastest growing residential surveying firms, has acquired Castles Surveyors, a trusted name in North London for over 30 years. Already considered one of the fastest-growing residential surveying firms, the announcement marks a significant milestone in Novello’s mission to become the premier multi-discipline surveying firm in London.
Castles Surveyors, previously part of Castles Estate Agents, has built a strong reputation for its expertise in valuations, surveys and lease extensions. With the acquisition, Novello is expanding its reach across London and the home counties as well as its service offerings to include commercial and specialist secured lending valuations.
The Castles team, led by Daniel Summers, will now join the Novello family, bringing with them their deep market expertise and industry knowledge.
James Brook, Co-Founder of Novello Chartered Surveyors said: “We couldn’t be more excited to welcome the Castles Surveyors team into Novello. Their long-standing presence in North London and their expertise in specialist valuations are the perfect fit for our vision. Together, we’re not only broadening our services, but also bringing out people-first ethos to new areas. We’re building relationships, delivering outstanding service and pushing the boundaries of what surveying firms can achieve.”
Novello was founded in 2019 by James Brook and Jack Pye with a focus on delivering high-quality surveys, valuations, lease extensions, and party wall services. Since its inception, the firm has rapidly become a leader in residential surveying, highly recommended by estate agents, solicitors, mortgage brokers, and architects.
With the acquisition of Castles Surveyors, Novello is poised to offer even more specialised services, particularly in secured lending valuations, ensuring comprehensive support for both residential and commercial clients.
Daniel Summers, Director of Castles Surveyors said: “We are really pleased to be joining forces with Novello. This partnership allows us to take what we’ve built over the past 30 years and elevate it further, offering an expanded range of services to our clients while maintaining the core values and standards that have always defined Castles Surveyors. We look forward to this next chapter with great enthusiasm.”
“We’re entering a really exciting new chapter in Novello’s journey,” added Brook. “Castles Surveyors has a fantastic team, full of talent and expertise, and I’m looking forward to working together to continue providing best-in-class service to our clients.”
