Expert Witness Representation


Where disputes have arisen between homeowners and neighbours or contractors, it’s not always possible to settle these issues quickly and amicably. With litigation on the rise, having a qualified property expert on hand is essential for providing professional, in-depth advice in the form of an expert witness report on the matter of contention.

At Silk Sharples Jennings, our experience as independent Chartered Building Surveyors and Chartered Valuation Surveyors allows us to frequently provide expert witness reports and advice for specialist assessments and reports in Shrewsbury.

Expert Witness Reports

At Silk Sharples Jennings, we regularly receive enquiries for expert witness reports for a wide variety of property related disputes. We can work either on behalf of one of the parties in dispute, or as a single, joint-witness surveyor. Our team has wide-ranging experience of working with other legal experts, and prepares expert witness reports under the Civil Procedures Rules (CPR).

Expert witness reports or expert surveyor reports are often used in instances where specific professional knowledge and experience is required to understand specialist matters. They are independently compiled for use in Court and at tribunals, arbitrations or other dispute resolution processes. Expert reports are intended to facilitate the legal process to enable parties to come to an agreement without escalating the matter further.
