Very good experience, good communication and smooth process. Quick too.
It has been a delight working with Richard. I had 5 party walls to sort involving a neighbour either side and owners of the flat above me. From start to finish it took approximately 3 weeks and was carried out and completed very efficiently. His response time was excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend his services. Jamie
Thank you Richard for your services. It was great to work with you. The process was very efficient and helpful at all stages.
Excellent work for Party Wall agreement - Richard was very helpful and efficient. Would throughly recommend.
Richard was absolutely brilliant in getting my party wall agreements for a complex loft extension across the line, throughout lockdown too, when getting access was challenging. He was very helpful when I then had to revert after a new obstacle arose, which needed his advice and a subsequent/additional award at short notice. Very much recommend - thanks Rich!
We engaged Richard Hourican for some party wall work and his response-time, ongoing communication, pricing and service were all excellent. He also went further and sorted us out with an engineer, who was also excellent. Highly recommended.
Richard was very efficient, fuss-free, and well organised. A pleasure to work with.
I engaged Hourican & Associates for a Party Wall Agreement with 2 adjoining neighbours who are both tenants. Richard was very responsive from first contact and remained so throughout the consultation and when the Awards were issued. Very professional at all times and answered any questions in a timely manner. Our neighbours, both tenants and landlords didn't have any complaints either. I have recommended Hourican to some friends who may need similar services in the near future and wouldn't hesitate to use them again if needed.
Great Service, even with the impediment of a 2020 lockdown. Great communication
Richard Hourican dealt with my party wall notices on both sides for an extension and loft conversion. Very efficient and knowledgeable. He got it all dealt with very quickly. Would definitely recommend!
Richard & team helped us sort out a party wall agreement with an unresponsive neighbour. Everything went smoothly and on time so I would recommend their services.
Richard worked efficiently to a very tight deadline, managing all counterparties excellently and with clear impartiality. Technically able, with an excellent knowledge of the Act, and an ability to explain to the layman. I would highly recommend and would definitely use him again.
