What Is an Expert Witness?

An Expert Witness is a qualified professional who provides independent, specialist knowledge and opinion to assist the court in understanding technical aspects of a dispute. In property-related cases, this often involves providing evidence on matters such as:

• Property valuations.
• Structural defects or issues.
• Boundary disputes.
• Party wall disputes.
• Compliance with building regulations.

Our surveyors offer clear, unbiased reports and expert testimony based on thorough research and analysis, supporting fair and informed outcomes in legal proceedings.
