What a tricky little man Phil Gold is. Approached our neighbour before our planning was even granted, sowing the seeds of paranoia that we are illegally building an extension under their noses.
I phoned Phil to question his premature contact with our neighbours and subsequent fear mongering and as expected he jumped on the defensive.
He was rude and arrogant, and surprisingly shrill when confronted.
Sadly our neighbours instructed him before we could even discuss the project and the whole relationship is off to a shaky start.
As people have said he's an ambulance chaser, justifying himself with fake news about all the ignorant people breaking the law and building illegal extensions.
As it turns out our application has been rejected, Phil was waaay too keen to line his pockets. £1300 was his estimate.

A scam! Making money off people who are extending etc.

Scammers. They send letters to neighbours once your party wall agreement application goes live on the council website. Cannot urge you enough to ignore letters from this “business”.

My neighbours received letters from this company offering party wall services within days of our planning application going live.

The letters use somewhat aggressive and unbalanced information to get appointed, playing on the fact that the person having the build work undertaken generally pays the bill.

These firms are commonly known as ambulance chasers in the sector, taking advantage of the legislation and charging excessive fees.

I live over 50 miles from the firm’s correspondence address and it smacks desperation to me to seek opportunity so far away.

I am a chartered surveyor myself and by all means protect your rights under the party wall legislation, but I recommend using a regulated firm if you wish to dispute.

This firm is not regulated and the tactics described is completely frowned upon by the RICS.

Scammer! has been sending letters to houses adjacent to one being worked on. But has no status on the project and has not been appointed as Party Wall Surveyor.
Recommend you ignore his official-looking letters.

Opportunistic scammers.
Received a letter from Phil Gold, allegedly writing on behalf of my neighbours, as my building works will be subject to Section 2 of Party Walk Act. Funny as I don't even have a party wall with them.

Scam

Will prey on your neighbours by going through planning applications on borough websites.

Scammers! Do not respond to their, often agressive, letters regarding Party Wall Surveys. Our neighbours were approached by Phil Gold, a known scammer who previously traded as PSG surveys, once our planning application appeared on public records. Just read the reviews of his previous company. By all accounts, he also goes by the name of Phillip Gee. An absolute waste of space. I contacted the planning department who were aware of him and would never recommend him.
Beware!
