"Dodgy Ambulance Chasers !"

Recieved a letter trying to scare me into signing up with them, threatentening my neigbours building works were going to damage my property.
Reported the company to the RICS, disgusting business practices trying to cause disputes between neighbours to generate money. Company should be investigated.
Update: "Warning" The firm is not registered with RICS

"Costly, unsolicited letter"

Received a card from the Post Office to say we had a letter that couldn’t be delivered because the sender didn’t pay the full postage. Paid £2, thinking we had a parcel, and turns out that Barker and Associates had sent an unsolicited letter, like many other reviews on this site. Things must be getting bad, if they can’t even manage to put a stamp on a letter or, maybe, afford to pay the postage! I would definitely look elsewhere if I were to find I needed party wall surveyors.

"Avoid at all costs"

Avoid at all costs - a complete scam outfit. We received an uninvited letter from them as a direct result of their having scanned the local planning authority’s published data. We only found out that this wasn’t the company being used by our neighbours (as we had already agreed to proceed with our neighbours’ company) when our neighbours received a letter incorrectly addressed.
DO NOT USE

"Thank goodness I chose Barker & Associates"

Thank goodness I am one of the people that Barker & Associates have supported. I am sure my neighbour who was completing the extension has nothing but bad things to say. Their reluctance to pay for the repairs to my property, indicates this would never have been met without Neil’s diligence. This firms work has saved me going to the small claims court and having to deal with bullying self-serving neighbours. I am very grateful for all your company has done.

"Neil responded to our notice and then…"

Neil responded to our notice and then arranged the survey within a week. Happy to recommend.

"Fast service"

Fast service, would recommend and use again.

"Ambulance chasing low lives"

This company are the lowest of the low. Scour council planning portals and then send deceptive letters to neighbours, tricking them into giving their details. Then write to individual planning works, claim neighbour is their client and has instructed a survey, conveniently for Neil Barker. As said previously, ambulance chasers. If they were any good they wouldn’t need to practice such low tactics, trying to coerce people into unnecessary expense and encouraging neighbourly disputes.

NO EVIDENCE OF RICS MEMBERSHIP OR REGULATION on their website. This rings huge alarm bells. If you need a surveyor, best to choose a regulated one.

"Scam company. Lower than cockroaches"

Barker and Associates Party Wall Surveys Limited are absolutely 100% a scam company.

They prey on the weak and misinformed and SCAM people into signing forms not knowing the implications.

Cockroach ambulance chasers would be a polite way to describe.

Avoid at all costs.

"Fast and reliable service"

Fast and reliable service, would recommend and use again.

"This is a sham company…"

This is a sham company that checks public planning records, gets neighbours to sign agreements and then will demand fees from neighbours for acting on their behalf. They are like ambulance chasers of the party wall world, beware.
