The building industry has always experienced substantial differences of opinion on contract provisions and quality of work. The Civil Procedure Rules reduce the areas of conflict and dispute resolution is being simplified but needs clear and direct action.
Property disputes often become legal arguments needing specialist and expert advice.
We are regularly called upon to act as experts in all manner of disputes, often instructed directly by solicitors who have come to rely on our prompt and concise service together with detailed technical and legal knowledge. We also take direct Court appointments as experts.
We provide services on:-

We follow recommendations set out in the Practice Statement and Guidance Notes published by the RICS and the Civil Procedure Rules.
