Curtis Murphy

Curtis joined Rapleys in 2023 as a Surveyor within the Neighbourly Matters team, based in the Bristol office. Specialising in Party Wall matters, he advises developers, property owners and neighbouring owners on a wide range of residential and commercial projects, providing practical, solution-focused guidance to support successful development outcomes.

Since beginning his career in Neighbourly Matters, Curtis has built experience acting for both building owners and adjoining owners, enabling him to understand the priorities of all parties and promote balanced, constructive solutions. His work also includes negotiating access licences and preparing planning drawings to support development proposals throughout the South West.

Committed to broadening his expertise, Curtis is expanding his knowledge across Rights to Light and Daylight & Sunlight consultancy, allowing him to offer clients an increasingly integrated neighbourly matters service. Alongside his professional responsibilities, he is studying for a Building Surveying degree through an apprenticeship programme and is progressing towards Chartered status.

Known for his approachable manner and collaborative working style, Curtis focuses on building strong client relationships and providing clear, practical advice that helps projects progress while carefully considering the interests of neighbouring properties.
