Property Market Review Reports

What we deliver

Our reports provide an independent review of the residential property market to examine the type, availability and likely purchase or rental costs of properties capable of accommodating the client’s clinical and functional requirements. Our property and analysis services are typically commissioned by solicitors involved in personal injury and clinical negligence cases, as well as professional deputies and case managers.

By combining clinical understanding with property expertise, our reports provide accommodation experts and legal teams with reliable evidence of the real housing market. We focus only on properties that are realistically capable of meeting the client’s needs, allowing informed decisions to be made about viable housing options and associated costs with confidence.

Why our service is unique

Our service is unique in combining a specialist Housing Occupational Therapist within a multidisciplinary architectural and surveying practice, bringing clinical, property and technical design expertise together in one team. Tess works alongside Kerry Smart, a property expert with over 30 years’ experience in the residential market. Together they provide a depth of expertise that offers clear benefits, including:

• Objective evidence of housing market availability 
• Realistic cost of suitable accommodation
• Robust evidence to support litigation and inform expert and witness evidence
• Avoidance of time and costs pursuing unrealistic property searches
• More informed strategic decisions about accommodation claims
