Litigation

Avoiding high legal fees and the potential lottery of the court room is a priority in disputes related to property.

Often a report by an independent surveyor providing a non-biased opinion based on the observed facts can nip a problem in the bud and be very cost effective.

Regularly, however, reports are called for when proceedings have already started. In this case there are rules on how reports are prepared and on the actions of the "expert witness".

Ashley Building Consultants has provided such reports for Private individuals, Trading Standards, Powys CC and Solicitors throughout the area.

Fees are normally on a time-spent basis. Sometimes the fees can be covered by the legal aid system.
