Joint Inspection Reports are undertaken by a surveyor acting on behalf of the Claimant and also a Surveyor acting on behalf of the Defendant. These are extremely thorough, Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) Compliant Reports; also known as ‘Part 35 Compliant Reports’ or Expert Witness Reports. The report details the professional opinion of the Chartered Surveyor and includes not only the evidence of disrepair but also what remedial actions should be taken to repair any damage.
A detailed Scott Schedule also known as, Schedule of Repairs will show an itemised view of all the disrepair and any related costs. The Schedule is something both Surveyors compile in a joint capacity.
