Choose your party wall surveyor with care

Graham Earlem (Eilam) Steele was made bankrupt on 27th June 2016. This came after he lost a High Court action in London for defamation where over a period of time he systematically made in the words of the presiding Judge, Sir David Eady, "scurrilous statements about others under the cloak of anonymity" on various websites and twitter. According to the trustees report from Grant Thornton, Steele owed in excess of £300,000. Whilst now out of bankruptcy (it generally ends after 1 year) the trustees are still pursuing different avenues to recover any assets he has.  

 

Steele has once again formed more limited companies, one being SSES (London) Ltd (company no. 10913091). Invoices have the VAT number 182 1069 22 which is registered to Graham Steele at 27 Kestrel Road, Waltham Abbey, Essex, EN9 3NB. This information is publicly available on this website. 

 

Graham Steele is also behind the 'Party Wall Wall Surveyors Association' website which should not be confused with any of the legitimate organisations. Owners who have made the mistake of contacting his website have confirmed from a photograph of Steele that he has himself turns up using a pseudonym. Hopefully Trading Standards will take appropriate action to stop this unethical state of affairs.
