Expert Witness Report | RICS | London Services

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
Save money in the long run

Thanks so much to all the team at Harding! They were extremely helpful in arranging the survey for us at very short notice.

Scott did the survey on the day and he was incredibly thorough - it's given us great peace of mind for our house move. The report he gave was detailed, well laid out with excellent photographs of every aspect of the house and surrounds. He also took the time to call and walk me through his preliminary findings, which I really appreciated.

Thanks again!

Amelia M.

I requested a structural survey couple of years ago due to hairline cracks appearing in my walls.
The report was thorough, advising me that neighbouring trees need to be dealt with.
April 2025 I am in the process of getting the repairs done. The surveyor Alaa Ali has been very helpful assisting and advising my builder in the work that needs to be undertaken to rectify the not so hairline cracks in my Edwardian flat.
The process is not cheap, but it provides a peace of mind to the structural state of my property.
