RICS Matrics Hampshire: Seminar - A View From The Bench with Peter McCrea

Join Peter McCrea OBE FRICS FCIArb, Surveyor Member of the Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber), for an insightful and practical session drawn from real experience at the Royal Courts of Justice in London.

This topical talk is designed to help surveyors strengthen their professional practice when preparing valuation and expert reports, and when presenting expert evidence before Courts and Tribunals.

During the session, Peter will cover:

• Practical tips for surveyors preparing valuation reports and expert reports;
• Key considerations when giving expert evidence in Court or Tribunals;
• Essential do’s and don’ts for expert witnesses;
• Real-life examples of where things can go wrong and how to avoid common pitfalls.

There will be an opportunity to network with other professionals and enjoy light refreshments.

Please note, while this session is open to all, as per the RICS latest practice alert regarding expert witness work (2025): “Members must have the proper expertise to provide expert opinion. Candidates and students are not qualified to provide opinion as an RICS member”.
