Part 35 of the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) regulates expert witness evidence in UK courts. When you instruct an expert witness, they must comply with Part 35 requirements, which means providing impartial, objective opinions to assist the court rather than advocating for the party who appointed them. Expert Surveyors UK's RICS expert witnesses understand their duty is to the court first. Our expert reports include declarations of compliance, statements of truth, and clearly separate facts from opinions. This Part 35 compliance is crucial because non-compliant expert witness reports may be rejected by courts or tribunals. Whether acting as a single joint expert or an independent expert for one party, our chartered surveyors deliver expert witness services that meet all regulatory requirements, ensuring your expert evidence is admissible and credible in property disputes.

We ensure compliance with the Party Wall Act, prepare schedules of condition, and resolve party wall disputes amicably where possible. For boundary disputes, we provide expert witness services examining land registry documents, historical maps, and physical evidence to offer impartial opinions on boundary locations.
