First for Party Wall Surveyors (Cambridge)

I can’t recommend Derek highly enough. I initially spoke to him on the phone and explained the situation. He is extremely knowledgable and put my mind at rest. He offered to come and do a quick site visit, and we now feel comfortable to proceed with our work.

I am currently working with three party wall surveyors on this project, and even for what should be a routine process, Derek has truly stood out. He is patient, thorough, and highly trustworthy. Derek never takes advantage of the fact that clients may not be industry professionals, nor does he exploit mistakes. Instead, he conducts himself with integrity and always acts in the client’s best interests. What distinguishes him is his consistent and proactive communication. He keeps clients informed at every stage, fully understanding that property-related matters can often cause concern. I would highly recommend Derek and look forward to continuing to work with him in the future.

I cannot recommend Derek more, he gives great honest advice and helps you every step of the way. Thank you.

We can’t recommend Derek highly enough. We were daunted by the party wall process, and became even more daunted when other surveyors wouldn’t give any idea of costs. When I phoned Derek for a quote he took the time to talk me through the whole process - this helped immensely, and having completed the process I know we made the right choice appointing him. Our situation wasn’t straightforward, but Derek was highly professional, knowledgeable, and communicative throughout. 5 stars isn’t enough.

I've just come off the phone with Derek who has given me such great advice regarding a party wall issue. He was so helpful and didn't charge me for the advice he provided. I would definitely recommend you give him a call.

I spoke with First for Party Wall Surveyors looking for advice on a new build that has already been started next door to my home. The gentleman was very professional and gave advice which will hopefully help us going forward even though he was unable to help us as the work has already started. Excellent service and would definitely recommend.

Derek did an amazing job seeing through what turned out to be a particularly challenging party wall agreement. He was friendly and accessible and gave clear and informed advice at each step - all with no attempt to circumvent the fixed fee agreed despite the process taking 11 months and hours of his time due to difficulties on my side (a demanding neighbour and delays by my architect). He went above and beyond, was knowledgeable and professional at all times, and I would highly recommend him.
