What is an Expert Witness Report?


Unfortunately, people don’t always agree on matters relating to property, often resulting in lengthy, costly and stressful legal proceedings. A Chartered Surveyor can produce a comprehensive Expert Witness Report for London properties detailing their professional opinion on the issue and provide evidence that supports your claim. If required, they can also appear in court to ensure the facts are heard.

At Harding Chartered Surveyors, our highly experienced professionals can assist with any expert witness requirement relating to property, including:

  • Arbitration
  • Mediation
  • Negligence investigation
  • Dispute resolution

We can provide expert advice and the required evidence to help resolve your dispute and reach an amicable agreement efficiently. In the process, we’ll potentially prevent the need to go to court, protect you against false claims and minimise legal fees.

Hiring a qualified RICS surveyor to act as your expert witness can help you:

  • Articulate facts accurately and clearly
  • Reach a fair and amicable settlement
  • Defend against false claims
  • Understand legal matters relating to property
  • Ensure the court proceedings go smoothly

I contacted Handing Chartered Surveyors to undertake a Level 2 RICS survey for a help to buy redemption in Southall, following issues with the paperwork produced by a large online competitor, resulting in the original valuation document being rejected. On contacting Harding I set out my needs along with the issues faced previously, and Harding were very quick to respond, as well as to confirm they were happy to be flexible if there were issues with the process after the valuation report was produced. Jessica from the team visited and undertook the survey following a discussion about my specific situation and needs, as well as discussing the process and next steps. She was kind, courteous and communicative throughout, calling to discuss the valuation prior to it being finalised and issued. Help to Buy subsequently accepted the valuation with no issues at all, a success! While it is sometimes cheaper and quicker to go with a large provider, it is also very difficult to discuss case specifics, and to address any challenges. I am personally very grateful for the service I received, a strong reminder to go local to get what you need, and I will very happily employ Harding again for any future survey needs.
Harding Surveyors are very prompt, professional and helpful. Their reports are detailed and very clear. They have saved me from major property headaches that I couldn’t see myself.
Excellent ! Very professional. The report was produced quickly. Charlie, the surveyor, was excellent. I have no hesitation in recommending Harding.
Very straighforward process, excellent support from staff
Alaa came when Hardings said he would, looked at everything, explained as he was going along, explained what he thought the issues were as he surveyed, took time to talk to our neighbour who is also affected by the subsidence, sent report when promised and then has been very available to explain what might happen next and why. Great service.
Extremely professional service. Easy to contact and to establish a good rapport. The final report was extraordinary in detail
Very happy with the service provided. Arrangements were promptly made to access the property to undertake the valuation, after which the report was sent several days later. The report is comprehensive and is of a high professional standard. Overall very pleased with the service. I will return again should I need any more help in the future.
Delivered ahead of time and in agreed scope.
Good service, the initial deadline was missed but the quality of work is good.
I have used Harding Chartered Surveyors three times in the last 2 years to carry out valuations of properties. I found them to be efficient and good value. Kate always got back to me quickly and I was also able to communicate directly with the surveyor. Their final reports were polished and professional. I can recommend.
Extremely professional and personal service. I commissioned two reports recently, one for a structural engineering inspection and one for a full level three report. Both reports gave me what I required and more. I would highly recommend.
Always a positive experience with Harding Chartered Surveyors. Thank you
