Testimonial, February 2018:
“We appointed Richard Mountain of RMA Surveyors to act on our behalf, as our neighbours had commenced work excavating right next to our house, without serving a party wall agreement. Richard’s knowledge and expertise helped resolve the issue and allowed our neighbours build to continue whilst protecting our property, which was our biggest concern. Unfortunately our neighbours chose to ignore the first award and we had to engage Richard again to go through another award. He worked extremely well to support us and offered a voice of reason to ourselves, our neighbours and the barrister we had to engage.
Richard gave us the confidence that we needed throughout the entire process. His is extremely thorough and practical, his communication was very proactive and he dealt with sensitive issues in a professional and timely manner, often coming out at short notice.
I would fully recommend Richard for any party wall agreement.”
