Boundary Disputes & Expert Witness Services

Why Andrews Eades for Boundary Disputes & Expert Witness Services?

Boundary Disputes

A boundary dispute is a dispute between the owners or occupiers of at least two neighbouring properties or pieces of land. The most common form of a despite relates to the position of a boundary, often with it being argued that a physical feature (such as a wall, fence or hedge) is in the incorrect position, or dispute over which feature defines the boundary (such as a hedge and ditch). The process and timescales of a boundary dispute are influenced by their complexity, the available information relating to the boundary (such as deeds, photographs and plans), and the willingness of each owner to seek a resolution.

Our team are experienced in assisting clients with boundary disputes, with many cases being resolved amicably without the need for professional mediation or court proceedings. However, not all disputes can be resolved in this way and we have acted as court appointed experts to provide detailed knowledge and insight on such cases.

  • Expert knowledge and insight on boundary matters and principles.
  • Experienced and skilled in resolving disputes.
  • Can act as Court appointed experts if required.

Expert Witness Services

An expert witness is a person who has a high level of expertise and knowledge in a specific subject, which qualifies them to present their opinion about the facts during legal proceedings. This can be done via written representation and/or attendance to court, as directed by the court.

Many of the chartered surveyors at Andrews Eades have served as expert witnesses in matters relating to building pathology and boundary disputes. As such our team is experienced in meeting the requirements of being an expert witness, including detailed knowledge of Part 35 of the Civil Procedure Rules: Experts and Assessors, the Guidance for the Instruction of Experts in Civil Claims, and the Code of Practice for Experts.

  • Chartered Surveyors with expertise in building pathology and boundary disputes.
  • Experienced court appointed expert witnesses.
  • Detailed knowledge of procedures and guidance for experts.

Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve picked out some answers to the most popular questions we get asked by clients and potential customers about our Surveying Services.

To read our full list of frequently asked questions, please click here.

What type of survey do I need?2023-08-24T11:05:16+01:00

A. It depends upon the form of construction and age of the building, together with the level of information you require. The two main surveys we offer are a HomeBuyer Report or a Building Survey. We would be happy to discuss and advise which is best suited to meet your requirements.

I have a dispute with my neighbour over the position of a boundary. What should I do?2023-08-24T11:04:20+01:00

In the first instance you should contact us to arrange an initial site inspection and letter report. As part of this we would undertake a site visit to analyse the boundary features on the ground, review available documentation, and provide initial advice on the dispute and your position. We would then be able to assist you in more detail going forwards if required, including writing to the neighbour on your behalf.

What will the survey tell me?2023-08-24T11:05:32+01:00

We endeavour to provide a clear concise survey to provide advice from which to negotiate further on price if necessary. We look for defects and advise on the cause, effect and remedy.

I am concerned that my neighbour has started building work close to my property. What should I do?2023-08-24T11:04:03+01:00

If you have not been served with a party wall notice by your neighbour then it may be that the proposed works are not notifiable under the Act, however there are occurrences where the works are notifiable but the neighbour has not served prior notice. In either case we would recommend giving us a call for further advice as the action required will vary depending on the circumstances. In the immediate term however you could ask your neighbour to cease works until confirmation has been provided by a party wall professional, and take photographs of your property to record its condition.
