While going to Court should be the last resort, it may be necessary. Property matters may be heard in different courts or quasi-judicial settings for example County Court, High Court, Agricultural Land Tribunal, Lands Tribunal, Valuation Tribunal, Rent Assessment Committee, Compulsory Purchase or Planning Inquiry. It would be wrong to say "bValued will be pleased to act on your behalf" in any of these circumstances, but where you have a good case and despite the weight of evidence on your side and all efforts to negotiate a settlement, progressing to Court or Tribunal may be unavoidable. In such circumstances bValued’s primary duty is to the Court or Tribunal and where bValued feel merit is on your side we can act on your behalf usually as expert witness or occasionally also as advocate.

Such work will be done to the standard set out in the RICS Guidance Notes "Surveyors Acting as Expert Witnesses" "Chartered Surveyors Acting as Advocates".

Preparation of a thorough and convincing expert witness statement normally takes much time.

Case Studies – work done by Arthur Bletchly.

	The landlord’s agent served a rent review notice to substantially increase the rent. Despite negotiations common sense did not prevail. The landlord referred the matter to an independent expert valuer. bValued acting on behalf of the tenant submitted Expert Witness Statements: the increase was contained within a realistic level. Our client made a significant saving.
