At Fogarty Associates we can provide independent and impartial professional opinion as an Expert Witness to help resolve property disputes.
Ian has been awarded the RICS Expert Witness Certificate following the required training and is familiar with Civil Procedures Rules (CPR) Part 35 Protocol. Expert Witness Reports are usually addressed to the Court when a litigation claim is being pursued.
In the role of both Chartered Surveyor and Expert Witness we can review documentation, carry out site inspections in order to prepare an independent report on disputed matters such as:
- Disagreements over the valuation of construction work
- Building costs
- Defects and poor workmanship
- Costs to complete unfinished building work
- Damage to neighbour’s property caused by building work
Our Expert Witness Reports provide independent and impartial opinion as well as identifying relevant issues for consideration by the Court. We can accept Single Expert appointments from one party, or jointly instructed appointments.
We are Chartered Surveyors Regulated by RICS. Our Expert Witness Reports are therefore prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Court, Civil Procedure Rules and the RICS Practice Statement and guidance.
If you would like a professional opinion regarding a property dispute or require an Expert Witness Report, please give us a call.
We are members of the RICS Helpline Scheme so please feel free to get in touch for a free 30-minute initial consultation.
