Expert Witness

Legal action in property related matters often requires Expert Witness advice. This type of work can be as a result of an instruction from solicitors, e.g. for matrimonial or probate purposes or for personal use by private individuals. We are also able to offer mortgage lenders advice on a retrospective basis using our records and by research using specialist databases.

This type of detailed valuation work can be carried out by RICS qualified surveyors as well as our ETEK registered valuers, who are all experienced in such professional work. We provide initial reports giving valuations for specific purposes. We are also able to represent specific interests in court or negotiate on behalf of our clients.

We provide expert witness reports on a range of residential and commercial property valuation issues, including family disputes, negligence, dilapidations and other matters. It may sound obvious, but we only provide advice on properties where we truly believe we have the necessary expertise and experience. Please contact us to discuss a matter in more detail.
