Arun Associates has been amazing . I needed a level 3 Homebuyer report for a flat I'm thinking of buying. Neil was my first contact and very involved, it was organised superfast by Maria and Scott Edwards carried out the survey. The report was well written and easy to read. And I feel the property was properly inspected. It has given me the possibility to budget for future maintenance on the apartment . The 30 minute call afterwards was very helpful in resolving all my questions .
The cost of the report was worth every penny.
Thank you again for all your help.

Most impressed by Neil Thind and Arun Associates for their help in arranging a Party Wall Agreement for me in 2025 as adjoining owner of a neighbour of my terraced house carrying out a loft extension that would require partial or full removal of a shared chimney stack, that required my consent for removal. Neil has been technically strong, helpful, patient and generous with his time to ensure that we were able to come to a mutually agreeable outcome, as there were a number of contentious matters outstanding that required resolution between the neighbours. Neil helped me navigate the matter and was at all times fair and helpful to both sides in reaching an agreement. I have been impressed with Neil as well as his supporting staff and will be requesting Neil Thind for assistance with any Party Wall matters that I need addressing in future. I originally discovered Neil Thind and Arun Associates from a series of technically very helpful YT videos (in Arun Associates channel) and can recommend them to others who may have Party Wall matters that need handling.
Thank you, James, for your thoughtful and detailed review! We're glad Neil Thind and the team at Arun Associates were able to support you through a complex Party Wall Agreement. Your recognition of Neil’s fairness, technical knowledge, and patience means a lot. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to assisting you with any future matters.

As when to interview yesterday with Neil who was director of this company. Yes had cold feet and very nervous. He’s feedback was very bad and never let me explain why I wanted this job. He was very rude and horrible towards me about me having lack of experience and knowledge about party walls. Thought myself that this company can let me do wonders and progression, but no Neil the director was horrible and shown his ture colours of picking people who have nervous and no much experience. Please avoid this company and not working with him.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your interview experience. We are sorry to hear that you felt this way, as it is never our intention to make anyone feel uncomfortable or unheard during the process.

Recently had to get Party Wall survey done, which needed to be done quite quickly.
Neil and his Team were very professional and managed to get everything sorted out within two weeks having to deal with three neighbouring properties.
Their charges etc, were explained very clearly on the outset, so there were no hidden surprises.
Would definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a good local Party Wall Surveyor.

When you have builders in, it can be soul destroying. When I hired Arun Associates to take charge, I consistently felt Nick Bell their surveyor was 'on my side' - he really knew what he was talking about, he was diplomatic and when a builder tried to tell him Bosch made wonky appliances, he set him straight in ten seconds flat. The build looked amazing. While I am not sure Nick and Neil want to be known as the one-stop cop shop of building work, it was a huge relief to have found them, and I am really looking forward to my next job with them. I know I can sit back and watch a good job being done on time and on budget supervised by truly competent professionals.
Thank you for your review, Jane. I'm so glad to hear that Nick and Neil were able to help with your builders. We're always happy when we can be of assistance!
We take pride in our customer service and it's great to know that you felt like the team was on your side during a difficult time. Thank you for sharing this feedback, it will be passed along internally as well as externally within our industry networks.

Arun Associates provided me with Party wall services for a garage conversion that is separated by a party wall with an adjoining neighbor. I was on a tight deadline. The customer service I received was outstanding and I was kept in the loop in every step of the way. Highly recommended for the impartial professional services I received, turnaround time and the price point.
Thank you for your review, Rami. I'm glad that we were able to help with your project in such a short time frame and the service was helpful.
I have passed on your feedback to our team so they can continue their good work!

I have used Arun Associates for many years now on projects both large and small
I am director of a freehold company which owns a terrace of large Victorian stucco fronted buildings which tend to have quite quirky problems, Arun and Associates are very skilled at sorting quite complex maintenance issues
Most recently they oversaw a major works project with a contract price of well over one hundred thousand pounds
Generally I have always found them to be highly professional and very pleasant to deal with
My point of contact is the excellent David Jacques
Thank you Hugo for your kind review. I am so glad to hear that David has been able to help you and we have been able to provide a solution which met your needs. We take pride in our customer service, as well as ensuring that the work is completed on time and within budget.
We appreciate hearing from our customers, especially when they are happy with their experience!

After reading all the positive feedback on Google Reviews, and making the payment in full of £1,116.00, we had the initial inspection of the property, however after chasing Arun Associates for a number of months, From Feb - Apr 2020, there is no movement on a final inspection. There have been excuses of Covid-19 etc, however, the lock down only started in March, and protective equipment can still be worn to ensure safety. Unfortunately, I'm out of pocket, and without any solution. I would advise people consider working with this company carefully, and avoid if possible.
Dear Rishi
As I had stated in my email following receipt of your review it is a disappointing that you did not contact myself as your appointed party wall surveyor to discuss your dissatisfaction. You had been liaising with my colleague who in fact would not have been able to have carried out a final inspection visit due to lockdown restrictions and being temporarily furloughed. I was unaware of issues you are having in terms of arranging the final inspection visit.
Having looked into your project and conferred with my colleague I understand that a party wall Award was agreed within a short timeframe of two weeks following your commencement of works and there being no formal agreement with your neighbour in place. I cannot see how you would have been out of pocket given that we had made a party wall agreement promptly for you to recommence works your works and to make good damage to the party wall arising from your works.
Having completed the notifiable party wall works and made good damage I understand you were pursuing for us to check that there has been no further damage and that the making good has been undertaken satisfactorily. I believe that both you and my colleague had endeavoured to contact the neighbouring landlord in February this year however were unsuccessful in making appointment. When contact was made unfortunately government lockdown restrictions came into effect which meant for obvious reasons, we were unable to take any internal inspections.
In any case following your review I have made the final inspection and closed this matter.
Regards
Neil Thind
