Expert Witness Services across Putney

Building disputes in Putney 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 Putney's building stock — including damp in riverside properties subject to historic Thames flooding, subsidence in Edwardian terraces on London clay, flat-roof failures on 1970s–80s riverside apartment blocks and the local planning context — means we can provide highly specific, credible expert opinion.

Common Building Issues in Putney

We are instructed on Putney 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 Putney

Putney Conservation Area; Wandsworth Council applies Article 4 directions in residential areas; riverside setting requires specialist flood risk consideration. Where a Putney dispute concerns alterations to Edwardian terraces, Victorian houses, riverside apartments and mansion flats, whether the correct consents were obtained is often as significant to the outcome as the defect itself, and both need to be evidenced to the same standard.

Getting to Putney

Our surveyors cover Putney and the surrounding Wandsworth area. The area is accessible via East Putney (District line), Putney (National Rail), Putney Bridge (District line), and our team carries out regular inspections across Putney SW15.

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: Wandsworth conservation areas; Wandsworth 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.
