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.
Working with Richard has been the easiest part of our recent building project, would certainly use again. He agreed the Party Wall Awards quickly and without any prompting needed from our side.
We couldn’t be happier with the professional advice and service we received from Richard. He went above and beyond our expectations in handling a particularly difficult party wall award which we are extremely grateful for. I highly recommend Richard’s services to anyone and will definitely use his services again in the future.
Excellent service, would highly recommend. Richard made the party wall process pain free with both my neighbours happy with the agreements which were drawn up. Chiswick W4
Richard is a very professional and supportive expert. We have received lots of really helpful advice from the company and as such we feel assured we are carrying out our works appropriately. He is really friendly and puts complicated legal jargon into a laypersons language! I would most definitely use Hourican & Associates again and would not hesitate to recommend them to all. Thank you Richard!
We were extremely impressed with the service provided by Hourican Associates. We needed a Schedule of Condition completed to a tight deadline. Richard and his team were able to squeeze us in last minute to accommodate the project. Very professional and competitively priced service. I would highly recommend.
I would thoroughly recommend H&A having been referred by the company who are doing my loft conversion, about an unusual party wall matter. Richard was very helpful, professional and knowledgeable and willing to give some free, solid advice. A rarity these days! Should I need the services of a surveyor again in the future, I wouldn’t hesitate to use them and would I’d recommend wholeheartedly to others.
