Valuation Dispute Expert Witness

Where the value of a property is contested, an independent RICS Registered Valuer acting as expert witness can resolve the disagreement with an authoritative, defensible figure. We provide valuation expert witness services for matrimonial proceedings, shareholder and partnership disputes, negligence claims, tax appeals and probate disagreements throughout Canterbury and the wider UK.

When a valuation expert is needed

Two parties frequently arrive at very different figures because they rely on different assumptions, dates or methods. Our valuer re-examines the evidence from first principles, applying the RICS Valuation – Global Standards (the Red Book) to arrive at a transparent, well-reasoned opinion of value that a court can rely upon.

The evidence base

• Comparable transactions analysed and adjusted for date, location and condition
• The correct basis and date of valuation for the matter in hand
• Clear reasoning so the figure can be tested and understood
• CPR Part 35 compliant reporting and, where appropriate, a Single Joint Expert appointment

A robust independent valuation often narrows the issues and encourages settlement before trial. Speak to us about instructing a valuation dispute expert witness.
