Building disputes and common sense

Get Independent advice from a Surveyor on Building disputes or almost any sort of dispute.

"It all seemed so simple, building an extension or making alterations to gain much needed space or generally improving the property - and it all went wrong."

Our common sense advice is there is little point in us giving any general advice here as disputes take so many forms, but please free phone us on 0800 298 5424 and we will be more than happy to discuss any specific problems. We have resolved many building disputes over the years, over 95% without court action or the threat of court action. We would say we have generally found it works better for you if you make contact and get expert advice as soon as possible. We will always give and take a common sense approach with regard to a dispute. We will advise when your dispute is a lost cause for whatever reason, whether it is wrong or right, and we will advise you on the amount of money that you are likely to spend. We will do our best to stop you throwing good money after bad

Our cross-section of experience means that we can choose the correct expert for your needs. Very importantly, having all these different experts available does help us to see the disputes from both sides. We feel we have been very successfully in dealing with building disputes and boundary disputes in particular. We feel we have a good reputation in the industry and are often passed work by solicitors and surveyors.
