Expert Witness Services in Fulham

Expert Witness Services across Fulham

Building disputes in Fulham require expert evidence that is thorough, impartial and credible. Our expert witness team provides reports and testimony for cases involving building defects, party wall disputes, construction disputes and professional negligence. We prepare all evidence to the standard required by courts, tribunals and arbitrators, and we have experience giving oral evidence across a wide range of forums.

We provide expert witness services compliant with CPR Part 35 and the RICS practice statement for surveyors acting as expert witnesses. Our evidence is prepared to the standard required by courts and tribunals. Our knowledge of Fulham's building stock — including damp penetration in Victorian solid brick terraces, subsidence in riverside properties on Thames alluvial ground, flat-roof failures on 1970s–80s riverside developments and the local planning context — means we can provide highly specific, credible expert opinion.

Common Building Issues in Fulham

On Fulham instructions where the local condition issues described elsewhere on this page are in dispute, our reports are written to CPR Part 35 from the outset: an overriding duty to the court, not the client, and conclusions that state clearly what is known, what is inferred and what remains uncertain.

Planning and Conservation in Fulham

Hurlingham Park Conservation Area; Fulham is within Hammersmith and Fulham Council which has multiple conservation areas and applies Article 4 directions on several residential streets. On Fulham instructions, we check what the planning and heritage position actually required at the time works were carried out, since a common feature of disputes here is a mismatch between what was permitted and what was built.

Getting to Fulham

Our surveyors cover Fulham and the surrounding Hammersmith and Fulham area. The area is accessible via Parsons Green (District line), Putney Bridge (District line), Fulham Broadway (District line), and our team carries out regular inspections across Fulham SW6.

The local context on this page is drawn from public planning, conservation and geological sources, together with the procedural framework expert evidence in civil proceedings runs on: Hammersmith and Fulham conservation areas; Hammersmith and Fulham Article 4 directions; BGS Geology of Britain viewer; Civil Procedure Rules Part 35 — Experts and Assessors; Practice Direction 35 — Experts and Assessors; RICS Rules of Conduct. These sources support the area context; they do not replace inspection of the specific building, and the exact planning, conservation-area and Article 4 position should be confirmed with the council for the specific address.
