Why London instructions need London experts
London's building stock — period terraces on shallow foundations, party-wall-dense streets, basement developments — produces disputes with distinctly local technical questions. Our London panel surveyors inspect quickly anywhere inside the M25 and are experienced in giving evidence in London courts and tribunals, as Single Joint Expert or party-appointed.
Fees
Fixed or hourly fees quoted per instruction; typical reporting in 2–4 weeks from inspection.
