Richard clearly has the knowledge and experience required to make things run swiftly and smoothly from start to finish. He knew what to do at every turn and made the party wall process far smoother and swifter than we expected. Thank you!
Fantastic service - highly responsive and supportive in getting our party wall agreement across the line. Highly recommended.
This is the first time I've gone through the planning of an extension and party wall agreement. Richard from Hourican Associates, has been so helpful and fast through out the whole process. Would definitely recommend.
Richard & team provided a highly professional service, working well with my two neighbours to efficiently arrange surveyors for schedule of condition inspections and quickly complete and issue the required party wall agreement. Highly recommended.

Richard is a professional and diligent surveyor. I found him very courteous and pragmatic to deal with. Would recommend on house surveys, schedules of condition and PWA.
I am very happy with the service this company provided. Both quick and friendly made the whole process of dealing with the Party Wall Agreement easy. Many thanks Dave
Friendly and efficient service.We would use this company again.
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
