Litigation and research
In circumstances where negotiated settlements are not possible, our experienced team and legal experts will recommend to escalate cases where appropriate.
Over the years we have set some major precedents that have impacted both valuation methodology and local authority behaviours.
There are a number of cases that we are currently working on, including challenging the Valuation Office Agency's approach to fit-out, COVID-19 and Valuation Tribunal powers.
