A technical report can help a property dispute, but only if it addresses the questions that matter. Paul Robinson Solicitors advise on commercial property litigation in Wandsworth, helping landlords, tenants and owners connect surveying or valuation evidence with the legal issues, commercial objectives and appropriate next steps in a repair, boundary or other property claim.

Define the issue before commissioning a report

The disagreement may concern condition, causation, cost or value, and each requires a different brief. We review the property documents and allegations to identify where technical input could assist. A report should not be commissioned simply to reinforce an assumed conclusion. Existing surveys and quotations can provide context, but their scope and purpose need examination before they are treated as evidence answering the disputed point.

Understand the expert's role

Expert evidence used in civil proceedings is subject to court control, including permission requirements, and the expert's duty to the court takes priority over obligations to the instructing party. We discuss the appropriate approach in the particular case. This is different from asking a contractor for a price or a surveyor for routine commercial advice, even where some of the underlying subject matter overlaps.

Use findings to reassess the dispute

Technical evidence may support a position, expose weaknesses or narrow the issues suitable for negotiation. We consider its effect on settlement options and proceedings, rather than promise that a favourable report guarantees recovery. Our broader litigation work covers lease breaches, payment and occupation disputes. Provide earlier reports and explain the business impact so the proposed investigation remains proportionate to the problem and the outcome sought.

Frequently asked questions

Can I rely on any surveyor's report in court automatically?

No. The court controls expert evidence and permission requirements apply. The report's purpose, scope and compliance need assessment before it is relied upon in proceedings.

Is a litigation expert expected to argue only my side?

No. An expert owes an overriding duty to the court. Their evidence should provide independent assistance on matters within their expertise rather than act as partisan advocacy.

What if technical evidence does not support my original view?

Discuss its implications with your solicitor. It may change the risk assessment, narrow the claim or inform a different settlement approach, and should not simply be disregarded.
