What is an expert witness report?

A Defect Survey is a specialized inspection aimed at diagnosing specific problems within a building. This could include issues such as damp, structural movement, roofing problems, or any other concern that may compromise the safety, stability, or value of the property. Our RICS Chartered Surveyors conduct a thorough investigation of the problem, identifying the underlying cause and providing detailed advice on the best course of action. Whether it’s a minor issue or something more complex, our defect surveys give you the information you need to address the problem effectively.

Understanding the Significance

Expert witness reports play a pivotal role in providing objective and unbiased opinions in legal matters related to property. These reports are essential in offering expert evidence to the court, delivering professional advice, and ensuring clarity in complex property transactions. The primary duty of an expert witness is to the court, and their impartial reports can significantly aid in resolving disputes and reaching fair judgments.

The Role of Expert Witnesses

Expert witnesses are highly experienced professionals with in-depth knowledge of standard industry practices in property. They are adept at analyzing intricate property transactions, reviewing transaction documents, and thoroughly examining financing agreements to provide clear explanations understandable to judges and juries. Their role is to help set reasonable expectations among the parties involved and reconstruct timelines and define each party’s obligations.
