Independent assessment
A report grounded in evidence.
We work with clients and solicitors to confirm the issues, valuation date, property interest and required report before accepting instructions.
The assessment explains relevant market evidence, the method, assumptions and limitations. Our opinion remains independent of either party’s preferred result.
The right scope
Start with the purpose.
Commercial matters
Assessments involving commercial, industrial, partnership or ownership disputes.
Mediation and proceedings
Report scope agreed to suit the intended use and the applicable instructions.
What matters
Independence is central to the engagement.
An expert’s role is to assist the court impartially within their expertise. Your solicitor should provide the relevant rules, orders and instructions for the matter.
Tell us about reporting dates, expert conferences and any potential court attendance. These can require additional work and must be agreed separately.
We cannot promise that a report will be accepted or that a dispute will be resolved in a particular way. The court and parties determine how the evidence is used.

Your questions
Clearly explained.
Talk to our team about the property and your requirements.
Can valuations be used in different types of legal disputes?
Valuation evidence may be relevant to estate, family, commercial and other property disputes. We confirm that the requested issues fall within the proposed engagement.
Can a report be challenged during litigation?
Yes. Reports can be questioned and other evidence may be presented. The report should explain the assumptions, analysis and conclusions so they can be considered transparently.
Do you assess residential and commercial property?
Yes. Tell us the property type, issues and instructions so we can confirm the expertise and scope required.
How is this different from an agent’s appraisal?
A litigation report addresses a defined valuation question, date and purpose, with supporting evidence and reasoning. A marketing appraisal is generally prepared for a different use.
Can you attend court or an expert conference?
Discuss these requirements early. Availability, instructions, preparation and fees need separate confirmation.
How much will the report cost?
The property, issues, historical research and reporting requirements determine the fee. We agree scope and charges before proceeding.
