RICS expert witnesses are accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and trained to act as expert witnesses in property disputes, construction matters, and boundary disputes. They provide impartial professional opinions and expert witness reports that comply with CPR Part 35, ensuring high standards of expertise and professionalism for expert witnesses underpinned by regulation.

Our surveyors hold RICS accreditation (MRICS or FRICS), RICS expert witness certificate through the Expert Witness Accreditation Service (EWAS), and many also hold CIOB or RPSA memberships. They've completed dedicated training in expert witness practice statement requirements, expert report writing, and cross-examination techniques. All maintain professional standards through continuous competency development, carry professional indemnity insurance, and are registered with the RICS Dispute Resolution Service (DRS). This accredit status provides reassurance to parties who instruct expert witnesses.

Our RICS expert witnesses provide expert evidence for civil proceedings before a wide range of tribunals, from county court to High Court. Whether acting as expert witnesses in disputes across land or providing adjudicator services, our expertise covers residential and commercial property matters throughout the UK.
Typical expert witness reports are delivered within 10-15 working days after the site survey, though timescales vary based on case complexity. The process includes initial consultation, detailed property survey and inspection, evidence analysis, report preparation including joint statements if required, and review.

Our expert report writing follows RICS professional standards and practice statements to ensure expert evidence meets all requirements for dispute resolution service proceedings.
Generally, it is not possible to sue experts in negligence for evidence provided in their capacity as expert witnesses, as they owe their primary duty to the court rather than instructing parties. However, experts must maintain professional standards and act with competency and professionalism. RICS accredited expert witnesses carry substantial professional indemnity insurance and are regulated by RICS professional standards. The expert witness training and certification process ensures surveyors acting as expert witnesses understand their obligations and avoid conflicts of interest while providing impartial expert opinions.
