Hamid and Angela Knight-Karimy
We used EK McQuade to get a Party Wall Agreement in place with our neighbouring properties. They were efficient, professional and clearly had a huge amount of experience in this area – making it a smooth process for us. We highly recommend using the team and services at EK McQuade.
James Paul
I used EK McQuade for some party wall advice on my home extension – quick and attentive service at a reasonable price, can’t fault them.
Sarah Fisher
Having received party wall notices out of the blue my clients were “up in arms” about what was required of them. Happily, I knew just who could help and I wasn’t disappointed with EK McQuade. Once appointed they took charge of the situation, explaining clearly the process involved and providing reassurance to anxious clients and working with the other surveyor to deliver the best outcome for all concerned. All in all a great result all round, a happy managing agent and happy clients. Highly recommend the Party Wall services from EK McQuade.
Jana Manuelpillai
A fantastically professional company – highly recommend.
Tim Axon
It’s a bit daunting when first you receive a Party Wall Notice (written as it is in somewhat intimidating legalese), but after a bit of a scramble I managed to find my way to EK McQuade and they were able to guide me through the whole process, which they did with unfailing efficiency and professionalism. As an adjoining owner, no fees were paid; nevertheless, from my perspective, they provided an excellent service
Tom Wood
EK McQuade are a very professional team and were extremely helpful and efficient acting as joint party wall surveyor on our project, which involved dealing with a number of complicated Party Wall Act issues. Would recommend without hesitation.
