Appointing the right London Party Wall Surveyor ensures your building project complies with the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 and protects you from costly disputes. Hourican & Associates are Chartered Surveyors, regulated by RICS, CIOB, and CABE, and full members of the FPWS and Pyramus & Thisbe Club.
Are you planning a building project – perhaps an extension, loft conversion or basement – that is on or adjacent to your property’s boundary line? Or has a ‘Party Wall’ notice dropped on the doormat informing you of a neighbour’s impending works?
It’s essential to understand all the implications of building plans. If you don’t, it could cost thousands. Our job is to ensure everything is done correctly – and that it doesn’t!
Richard is very responsive/supportive, and gets the job done, even in tricky situations like ours.

Excellent experience working with Richard. He was highly knowledgeable, gave clear and practical advice, and made the whole process feel straightforward.
What really stood out was his incredibly fast response time, always quick to reply and very easy to work with.
Richard took the time to walk us through all our options around the boundary wall, explaining exactly what we could and couldn’t do without unnecessary jargon. His guidance was practical, balanced, and gave us real confidence in how to proceed.
Would highly recommend!

Richard Hourican was excellent in handling the party wall matters for our new build. Communication was great throughout and everything was handled efficiently, which made the whole process much less stressful. Would highly recommend!

Richard and his team acted as party wall surveyor on our renovation/extension project in Richmond. They have been on the ball, polite, very good with neighbours (2 out of the 3 neighbours accepted them as surveyors), and efficient at closing out the Awards. The Awards are comprehensive and clear. Fees are very fair.

Richard was a great recommendation and went above and beyond to arrange complex party wall agreements for both sets of neighbours.
He worked well with our border team as plans changed and then came together and was highly professional and collaborative. Arranged monitoring and liaised and communicated with everyone smoothly.
Would be a great addition to any building project.

Richard was excellent to work with, we have 6 partywalls to complete in a short time and he kept us up to date throughout and chased daily to make sure they were done on time.

Richard has been extremely helpful when dealing with my queries about my neighbour extension works even after he was informed that he was not appointed as the party wall surveyor due to some communication issues. A great way to handle such situation professionally.

Richard was first class with how he helped me with my query. Despite immediately realising Hourican Associates couldn't help me with the work i required, he spent 15 minutes on the phone discussing my problem and directing me to other trusted professionals who could help me. Thanks!!
