Richard came recommended and proved to be top drawer. I had zero previous experience of Party Wall Agreements (PWA) and Richard responded swiftly to my urgent enquiry, gave me a quick but patient thumbnail sketch of what their intent and requirements were and subsequently produced an impressive post - survey PWA document. He is very well versed in demystifying processes and jargons and also educative and reassuring when required.
