I have hired Simon Levy twice in the last ten years to represent me as an Adjoining Owner in the face of my neighbour’s party wall building works. Simon was originally recommended to me by a friend (a property professional) as a surveyor who would ‘aggressively defend my interests’. My friend couldn’t have been more right. In the first instance Simon took on a rather careless neighbour to ensure my property was protected and damages compensated. In the second instance (different property) Simon took on a rather rogue, unresponsive and sometimes devious neighbour to assure the same. Both situations required huge attention to the specific detail of my case(s), intricate knowledge of party wall law, routine communication with me and, especially in the second case, Rottweiler-like persistence over many many months. Simon was routinely (and refreshingly) instantly available to me by email and phone. Having him on my side became a HUGE assurance especially when matters grew more complex and were sometimes quite distressing. In the end - Simon prevailed and I was paid for damages in full by both adjoining owners. I am not sure this would have happened without Simon’s strength of character and lightening bolt knowledge. I am sincerely GRATEFUL and cannot thank him, nor recommend him, enough.

We recently used Simon Levy Associates for a party wall award and two condition surveys. Simon, Raphi, Lewis and the entire team are brilliant to work with. They held our hand throughout and where required, liaised with the Architect, the Structural Engineer and the builders to ensure everything was compliant and that we didn't have any unwanted surprises. Very happy to recommend and will use again.

Simon Levy carried out a full building survey of my new property. From the initial enquiry with his staff to receiving our report Simon Levy Associates provided a fantastic service. Highly recommended.

Disappointing experience with Simon Levy. He charges an above market fee but services provided are sub par.
Very unresponsive - my queries have been ignored for several weeks and he did not properly finish his assignment: he did not want to review the answers provided by the vendor on the queries he raised himself in his report, and requested an additional fee of £200!
in a nutshell: unprofessional behaviour, no fee transparency and not responsive at all.

I engaged Simon Levy Associates to carry out a full building survey to a Grade II listed building and provide a rebuild cost pursuant to a purchase. The report provided by Simon is superb, clearly written, excellently detailed and illustrated by a comprehensive photo record. I highly recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to use this company again.

Simon Levy Associates is an outstanding Building Surveyors firm. We were immensely impressed by their outstanding level of expertise and knowledge, professionalism, attention to detail, and customer service generally. Their surveyor, Raphael, attended our property on two occasions (for different areas of the property) and provided a very thorough analysis, quickly and accurately, making precise deductions on the root causes of issues the property showed. We received the Reports from Raphael promptly and were very satisfied with the content, detail and clarity in the Reports. We cannot recommend Simon Levy Associates highly enough. They have exceptional expertise, are very friendly and conscientious, and provided complete value for money. Marina and Mariam

My neighbours proposed to do a loft conversion and I was advised to appoint a Party Wall Surveyor to protect my party wall. I appointed Simon Levy Associates and was delighted with the service they gave me.
Raphael Saltman was my Surveyor. He is knowledgeable, experienced and professional. He was both punctual and considerate when visiting my home, which was during the Covid-19 pandemic. All phone calls and emails were answered fully and promptly.
I would definitely use Simon Levy Associates again and recommend them highly.

I recently had Simon Levy Associates run a survey on a property, I was very pleased with the outcome, not only was the service top class, everything was done in a timely manner, the team where very polite & professional.
This is the 2nd time I have used the amazing services of SLA and will 100% be using again if needed too.
Keep up the good work.

Simon provided an excellent service, after doing the survey he very kindly gave us a brilliant brief overview via telephone of our prospective property which gave us reassurance whilst we waited for the full report. The team were also extremely helpful both prior to and after the survey. Would use again

I hired Simon in January 2019 following severe damage done to my property. I found Simon to be very professional as were his office. he is very direct and this is what you are paying for. Direct honest advice. He has many years experience and his survey was used in my legal action. The judges comments were his report was thorough and scathing of what had happened to me. He may not be the cheapest but I can categorically confirm I will use him again. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with him and I hame also grateful for him recommending a Structural design engineer who was also exceptionally helpful.
