Expert Witness Services in Greenwich

Expert Witness Services across Greenwich

Building disputes in Greenwich 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 Greenwich's building stock — including settlement in Georgian terraces on riverside alluvial ground, damp penetration in period maritime buildings, structural movement in converted industrial waterfront buildings and the local planning context — means we can provide highly specific, credible expert opinion.

Common Building Issues in Greenwich

We are instructed on Greenwich disputes where the local condition issues described elsewhere on this page are alleged to be someone's fault, and the expert's task is narrower than it looks: establish what the evidence actually supports, not what either side would prefer it to show.

Planning and Conservation in Greenwich

Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site with extensive planning controls; Greenwich Council works with Historic England on all significant applications affecting the World Heritage Site buffer zone. On Greenwich 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 Greenwich

Our surveyors cover Greenwich and the surrounding Greenwich area. The area is accessible via Greenwich (Elizabeth line, National Rail, DLR), Cutty Sark (DLR), and our team carries out regular inspections across Greenwich SE10.

The local context on this page is drawn from public planning and conservation sources, together with the procedural framework expert evidence in civil proceedings runs on: Royal Greenwich conservation areas; Royal Greenwich Article 4 direction areas; 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.
