If you are looking for someone to go the extra mile look no further than Richard Hourican. I cannot thank him enough for the excellent job he did in securing my Party Wall Awards. There were numerous flats either side of my property. A total of 11 altogether. Some responded, some didn't but Richard didn't give up. He made what could have been a difficult, long drawn out and stressful situation a lot easier to handle and took all the flak and came up with the result. Don't look any further than this, you have found your man. Thank you!

Hourican Associates handled a complex set of party wall agreements for us with a range of stakeholders including both leasehold and freehold owners. From our first conversation, Richard's vast knowledge of this process was evident; he explained the whole process clearly and answered all my questions thoroughly. Communication was extremely prompt the whole way through with Richard always making time to chat on the phone to keep us updated. I would highly recommend Hourican Associates.
