Our expert witness report services

Party wall disputes are to be avoided, but it’s often necessary to obtain an expert’s report when a matter becomes litigious. These are usually required to be in a particular format (CPR35). Collier Stevens provides expert witness services for residential property matters across London & Kent, and the practice principal is an Accredited RICS Expert Witness.

Our fields of expertise include:

  • Party wall disputes but NOT boundary disputes or right to light issues
  • Landlord & tenant service charge disputes where we have acted for both freeholders and leaseholders
  • Landlord and tenant housing disrepair and section 11 disrepair matters
  • Building problems and defects
  • Building project disputes for minor building works (contract values up to £100k) including contractual and payment disputes and quality of workmanship disputes

It’s always best to discuss your requirements with us first. We only take instructions where we have the necessary knowledge and expertise to prepare a detailed and accurate report.
