Recent Activity in Maida Vale W9

Being a sought-after area with high property values, many homeowners in Maida Vale are looking to add basements to their properties to increase living space rather than move. However, basement excavation and underpinning is at the upper end of the scale in terms of risk and disruption meaning that party wall surveyors will generally be appointed.

One such neighbouring owner contacted us, having been served with notices under section 2 (underpinning and chimney breast removal) and section 6 (excavation) of the Act pertaining to a large basement extension. The job was allocated to our surveyor Shaun Blake, with his assistant Bawor, handling day to day matters. They held an initial Zoom call with their appointing owners, explaining the role of the adjoining owners’ surveyor, security for expenses, the advising engineer and noting any concerns that they had.

The owners have been very pleased with not only their initial consultation, but the ongoing communication displayed by Shaun and Bawor.

Excellent and professional RICS 3 report provided by Justin. I was very impressed about the thoroughness and the easy to understand contents within the report. In addition, Justin has spent his time talking us through the findings and suggested actions to be taken forward.

Thanks for your great work and I would highly recommend Peter Barry.
All aspects of our experience using Peter Barry were good which was a breath of fresh air in a stressful house renovation. We engaged them at the last minute to pull together our party wall awards for 4 neighbours. They we're good at communicating, pragmatic in setting up the surveys and reasonable on pricing. Recommend using them.
