Richard Littleproud is a Surveyor at Hourican Associates and is typically the first person you’ll meet when your project requires a detailed Schedule of Condition survey. Richard carries out the majority of our Schedule of Condition inspections across London, producing clear, well-structured photographic records that help protect both Building Owners and Adjoining Owners before works begin.

Front-of-house for Party Wall projects

As a key point of contact for active jobs, Richard keeps communication straightforward and timely. Clients value having a consistent, reliable surveyor who understands the practical detail—access arrangements, inspection timing, and what information needs to be captured to reduce risk later.

What Richard does

• Schedule of Condition surveys with detailed photography and written observations.
• Site meetings with owners and occupiers to explain what’s being recorded and why.
• Clear reporting designed to prevent disputes about pre-existing defects.
• Coordinating access and supporting the wider Party Wall process with accurate records.

Why Schedules of Condition matter

In London’s period housing stock—terraces, conversions, and closely built neighbours—small cracks and historic movement are common. A Schedule of Condition is one of the most effective ways to keep projects neighbourly: it creates a fair baseline record before works, reducing uncertainty and avoiding unnecessary conflict later.
