What a breath of fresh air, finally a surveying firm who are knowledgeable and able to do the job with excellent communication skills, guiding you through the process. Choosing the right party wall surveyor will save you time and money. I would recommend that you choose Coburn if you need a party wall surveyor. Not only do they offer free advice, they go the extra mile. Straight talking and professional with a no time-wasting approach.
Coburns are an absolutely amazing team! I cannot commend them enough as they truly went above and beyond to secure complex party wall awards for me. Their knowledge on party wall matters (along with various construction matters) was superb, they are highly responsive and informative. I never had to chase for a response. No matter what obstacle was placed on their pathway, they found a way and got the project moving in no time at all! Their pricing is very competitive and I can confidently state that all my future party wall matters will remain with the Coburns team!
Without question the best party wall surveyor you will find. Having found myself in a sticky situation Coburns came in and blew the doors off. Unlike some surveyors, they act quick and with foresight, meaning they anticipate future issues, consequently speeding up the process. The thread that runs throughout proceedings is a constant flow of detailed information and a relationship of complete trust. Coburns want the issue resolved quicker than you do!
I can't put into words how strongly I can recommend Coburns Party Wall. In a nutshell, Coburns Party Wall saved me thousands of pounds and a lot of stress — quick and very professional, and after a little while I knew I was in good hands. I had a very hard time with neighbours who did not want me to build an extension, trying to make it difficult and cause delays, and one neighbour's surveyor was so bad and very expensive. But Coburns Party Wall was so good and quick dealing with the issues and advising me what to do that it made the whole thing so much easier. Karmjit is one of the few professionals I have come to know in a very long time. If you need a surveyor you will not regret working with Karmjit.
We had such excellent service from Karmjit at Coburns. We had been tying ourselves in knots for months trying to get party wall consent from the council and he was so helpful, clear and efficient in resolving it for us within a couple of weeks. I have no hesitation recommending this company.
We act on residential and commercial matters across London, the South East and the Midlands — five offices, one standard of service.
