Good service I have used their services three times. Very satisfactory, I will use them in future when I need.
The results were very quick – I thought it would have taken longer – all very quick – MZA were terrific, when I first phoned them I was in a bad way – they kept me calm told me to send everything to them and they basically sorted everything – very efficient – I had all faith in them and they did it all – very very happy for all he has done for my business – Thank you.
Most reliable. It fully met my expectations in time scale and the result was more than I expected.
Yussuf and Bho were great, they were patient and persistent with a very difficult planning dept at Hounslow – It was hard work but we got an acceptable result in the end!
You gave me the confidence to feel that it was all going to be worth while in the end. Many, many thanks for all the work you did on my behalf.
I want to say a huge thank you to everyone at MZA planning for their excellent and professional service. I had contacted other planning companies before coming across MZA, but I did not get the same positive vibe as when I first met with Yussuf. MZA were the only company who readily came out on a site visit to understand my situation first hand. Their prices were also very reasonable compared to another company that charged me more for a few hours of work compared to MZA for the whole case. I had Yussuf and Bho dealing with my case and they are clearly very knowledgable in their fields as they understand all planning issues, what is likely to be granted and what isn’t etc along with a full understanding of the relevant policies that would relate to my case. When presenting the case, they laid out all my arguments to the council in a very professional and concise manner and all backed up by the relevant policies and documents referred to by the council. I also want to say a big thank you to Anita who dealt with a lot of my phone calls and is always very calm and professional, even when I was very stressed. I am glad to say that I won the case thanks to MZA, even when the council made it seem impossible. I will definetly be using them for any future planning issues and I have no hesitation in recommending them to everyone, whether it be for residential or commercial planning. Thank you once again for everything.
“Excellent and efficient services. Very reliable company, did achieve results for us in regards to our Full planning Application for a Place of Worship and Day Centre, will highly recommend MZA to anyone!”
Highly recommend them . Professional service
After many months of trying to have sensible conversations with the planning department at Hounslow, I was worn down to the point of giving up. At every opportunity Hounslow simply said NO and maintained a desire to show no common sense and almost demonstrated an appetite to simply play games because they could. It was all very depressing until one day I received a post card through my door after my third rejected planning application. The post card was from MZA. A local, professional planning consultancy that suggested that they could help. I was very sceptical but thought that it was worth paying for a brief consultation. Without sounding too dramatic, that 20 minute meeting changed everything. The team at MZA felt very confident that all of my planning applications should have been accepted first time around. I followed the advice that I received from the expert consultants to the letter and they helped me and my architect navigate through the process of appeal. Last Thursday I received the last decision, again in my favour. 100% of Hounslow’s ridiculous decisions were overturned and I plan to start the build in a few weeks. As a Chiswick based surveyor and estate agent I meet so many people that have fallen victim to the same treatment from the local authority and I plan to send them all to MZA. If you feel that your local authority is behaving more like a David Brent sketch than an elected authority, give MZA a call. They talk sense and do what they say that are going to do. Truly excellent. Thank you to the whole team.
I used MZA to help with my application for planning permission to replace the shopfront of my cafe. After doing some research on a few planning consultants and reading some exemplary reviews I chose to go with MZA Planning. Firstly their reviews and the testaments of their previous customer are fully merited! They not only provide such a professional and transparent service, their price is more than competitive, its value for money. As a first time business owner, I found the application process daunting and extremely protracted, especially being in green conservation area. MZA took care of everything, from site surveys, CAD drawings to the arguments in the application. They advised and updated me on every step of the process, and more importantly, chased and hounded the council when they fell behind. I was very impressed by their attention to detail, especially in their set up of a customer specific dropbox which you can access at anytime and view all documents pertaining to the case and also the clear breakdown of their invoices. It also feels like they have the whole team behind you, not just one dedicated representative but multiple staff in their company communicating with you so that you will always get a prompt reply from someone to deal with any queries you may have. I want to thank the whole team especially Mr Yousuf, Molly, Monica, and Amelia. I would very highly recommend MZA for all your planning needs, they really do help make applying for any permissions completely stress free! Again many many thanks for all your efforts.
