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.

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.

Richard helped us with a challenging party wall agreement where both the leaseholder and freehold adjoining owner insisted on having separate surveyors for the removal of a chimney stack. He was clearly familiar with the different surveyors in the industry which was helpful. He worked tirelessly to get this over the line, to which we are very grateful.

I got in contact with Hourican Associates for some advice on a parapet wall issue (Party Wall dispute). I wish I could have instructed Richard but unfortunately due to the way the party wall award works I couldn’t. However he was fabulous. Richard returned my call quickly and gave me lots of advice on what I could do given the circumstances, what to make sure we ask for etc and also put my mind at rest. Richard really knows his stuff in party walls and I wished I’d found him earlier. Totally recommend! Thanks Richard. I’ll be saving your number for next time!
