Expert Witness CPR 35 Rules & Inspections
A Part 35 Compliant Expert Witness report should include both facts and assumptions used by the Expert. It should also include any analysis and the Expert’s opinion on the matter.
CPR 35 Expert Witness Inspections Explained
We provide expert witness inspections and building reports prepared in accordance with CPR Part 35 and the associated Practice Direction. In these matters, the expert's overriding duty is to the court — to provide an independent, impartial, and professionally reasoned opinion on technical building issues to assist the judge in determining the dispute.
Each instruction is approached carefully and objectively. Our reports set out the relevant facts, assumptions relied upon, the analysis undertaken, and the expert opinion reached — together with the basis for that opinion and the expert's qualifications. Reports are prepared clearly and professionally so they can properly assist the court in understanding technical matters that fall outside ordinary knowledge.
Whether the dispute concerns the cause of damage, the standard of works carried out, or the extent of necessary repairs, we provide focused building inspections and expert reporting to support legal proceedings with clarity and independence.
Our CPR Part 35 expert services may include:
- Building defects and poor workmanship
- Damage arising from building or renovation works
- Cracking, movement and structural concerns
- Damp, water ingress and associated damage
- Repair liability and remedial works disputes
- Neighbouring property damage and related building issues
What our reports include:
- Relevant material facts
- Assumptions relied upon
- Technical analysis
- Independent expert opinion
- Basis of conclusions reached
- Expert qualifications and declaration

Expert Witness Process
We begin by thoroughly reviewing the nature of your property dispute or related matter, gathering all necessary documents and evidence for a comprehensive assessment. This is followed by an in-depth property evaluation, including site inspections guided by legislative requirements, Building Regulations, and local authority standards.
After completing the analysis, we compile our findings into a detailed report, incorporating relevant legal frameworks and expert opinions. Should your case require legal proceedings, we are prepared to serve as expert witnesses, providing clear and well-reasoned testimony to support your position.
Once the case is resolved, we will meet with you to discuss the outcome, offer any further recommendations, and ensure that you are fully informed and satisfied with our service.
