The role of the Expert Witness in arbitration and litigation is becoming increasingly important and the RICS is unique in having published a mandatory practice statement requiring its members to comply with all rules of court and matters of best practice.

Our surveyors are adept at:

• Preparing reports on professional negligence in surveys and building works
• Preparing reports in defective building works
• Preparing reports on buildings in disrepair
• Acting for landlords and tenants in dilapidations disputes
• Advising on the merits of a claimant's case in court proceedings or arbitrations
• Acting as assessors (guiding the Arbitrator in technical matters) in arbitration cases

We are regularly appointed by national and local firms of solicitors, for whom we act in the strictest confidence.
