EXPERT WITNESS AND FORENSIC VALUATIONS

DIMINUTION IN VALUE ASSESSMENTS

We regularly receive instructions from solicitors to provide advice in both the residential and commercial spheres where a client feels he has received incorrect advice from a professional advisor.

Generally, instructions are in relation to residential property where, for example, a purchaser relies upon a negligent survey report where a defect requiring repair has not been drawn to their attention. Occasionally, part of the plot is incorrectly conveyed or a right of way not drawn to the purchaser’s attention or an issue such as Japanese Knotweed has been identified. In such scenarios we can provide independent advice and if an agreement cannot be reached, follow the case through to Court.

RETROSPECTIVE VALUATION

In these difficult economic times, lenders are increasingly seeking to recover losses sustained on property loans.

Using our extensive knowledge of both the residential and commercial markets, we are able to undertake retrospective valuations in order to assess whether a surveyors valuation was excessive, or if not, within an acceptable range.

Whether we are instructed by a lender directly or legal advisors, we provide independent and impartial advice.
