Tim was absolutely brilliant during the entire party wall process. He walked us through the various complications that arose and his communication to us and the neighbouring surveyors meant that he kept in control of the process, that he kept the process moving and kept us fully updated. I will seek Tim assistance in future party wall processes and I highly recommend him to others.
I would highly recommend Tim and party Wall specialists.Tim is a recommendation from a friend. I have spoke with several party wall surveyors before Tim, I would say he is definitely the expert and one of the best in dealing with party wall issues. He is so professional, responsive, knowledgeable and generous. He was really patient and spending a lot of time communicating with us and even with our neighbors for free and offered us so many advises explaining our party wall situation before appointment. This helped us enormously to reach an agreement beforehand and avoid further negotiation with the neighbors' surveyor. Thanks a lot Tim!
Tim did a great job on our party wall award. There were some challenges with our neighbours surveyor (pedantic, slow etc) but Tim did a great job managing him. Tim is clearly very knowledgeable in his field and he always makes the time to explain the details to you so you fully understand the process, next steps etc. We were complete novices but we found Tim to be extremely patient, always making time to answer all our questions and make us feel at ease. He also always responded extremely promptly to any calls and emails we sent which we greatly appreciated as we were working to a tight timeline. BIG THANKS TIM!!
Tim helped us get a party wall agreement in place very quickly when our neighbour had builders booked to start in a few days. He was speedy, and accommodating to both parties. He took time and patience to talk us through all the details, communicating clearly our rights and responsibilities. He did what he said he would do when he said he'd do it.He has also kept in touch with both parties as the work unfolds, to help smooth over any gaps in understanding and help us tackle any issues as best he can.In our experience he is professional, knowledgeable and helpful. We would use him again.
