Building Defect Analysis

"Our project involved a straightforward party wall on one side and a complex array of 11 parties with both leaseholders and a freeholder on the other. Danielle was able to secure party wall agreements with all parties to allow our project to go forward in a timely fashion. Danielle was very knowledgeable and always knew how best to proceed. She was also available to discuss specifics of the process and our progress whenever we needed. With so many party wall agreements to arrange I cannot think of a more challenging situation to navigate and Danielle delivered. Highly recommended."

"We engaged Danielle to survey a large multi dwelling property. This was a complex building of several parts added at different times over the decades. Danielle provided a no-nonsense service. Handling the complexities with deft professionalism and detail that quickly produced the sort of report we really needed. We would not hesitate to use Danielle again and highly recommend her very professional service."

“Our project involved a complex party wall negotiation on both sides of our house. Danielle was able to secure party wall agreements, was very knowledgeable, always knew how best to proceed and available to discuss specifics of the process for our project to go forward in a timely fashion. As post design Contract Administrator (CA), Danielle let negotiations with the contractor in very efficient and collegial way. We did not have to rely on the architects on the administration of our project, allowing them to address design issues only, as Danielle had plenty of experience and expertise to support us as clients. Highly recommended.”

“Danielle was asked to look at a large residential property in S Kensington which had suffered from serious leaks over a 15-year period. Numerous consultants, builders and specialists investigated during this period, but the problems remained. Despite there being little contemporaneous information available, Danielle rolled up her sleeves and systematically inspected and tested all points of possible water ingress. Very quickly, she was able to map the house and identify the root causes of the leaks and instruct the necessary remedial works. Danielle carried out her work discretely and with the utmost professionalism whilst the owners were in residence. The house is now completely watertight and good for another 50 years!”

“I used Danielle Brooke’s service for long large build in West London. Her excellent Party Wall negotiations resulted in a positive outcome covered by my insurance. It was easy to communicate with her and she was most helpful throughout, so I didn’t need to worry. I am very happy to recommend Danielle."

“I manage about 450 retail units in and around London most with various property management issues which take up various amounts of time. Party Wall cases are one of those matters that can be complex requiring specialist knowledge and thorough investigation which would take up too much time and I have had no hesitation in passing these on to Danielle knowing that she will protect the company’s position. Danielle’s work is thorough, and she has also proven to be adaptable when circumstances change during a project. I can get on with my other work and not have to worry about party wall issues. Would always recommend Danielle.”

“Danielle has acted for my company in both a re-valuation of the company’s commercial and mixed-use properties for insurance purposes (and two-party wall agreements). She has provided an excellent service in all matters and I would recommend her to other companies and individuals for similar work."

“Danielle undertook a highly professional and comprehensive survey of 2 properties which she delivered to a very high standard. The subsequent drawings were both very accurate and detailed, and Danielle’s knowledge and experience were extremely useful in taking this project forward. I would have no reservation in using Brooke and Associates in the future, and would strongly recommend their services to others.”
