Specialising in the quantification of loss since 1989, TN Davies provides expert witness reports and diminution valuations for complex property disputes. From multi-million pound dilapidations to matrimonial valuations, we offer the technical precision required for litigation.
Over 35 Years of Technical Expertise in Property Litigation
Since our founding in 1989, we have established ourselves as a leading authority in the quantification of loss and property valuation. Based in Kent but serving the entire UK, we don't just provide standard surveys; we specialise in the complex, high-stakes areas of property law where technical precision is the difference between a successful settlement and a costly loss.
Led by Terry Davis, our team is frequently called upon to act as expert witnesses in court. We understand that when you are facing a property dispute—whether it's a matrimonial split, a negligent survey claim, or a boundary issue—you need more than just a figure; you need a robust, defensible report that stands up to the most rigorous scrutiny.

Specialists in Diminution and Section 18(1) Valuations
We are one of the few firms with deep expertise in non-dilapidation diminution valuations. When an "event" prejudices the value of your property—such as a neighbour's negligent construction or a surveyor's missed defect—we calculate the exact reduction in market value.
Our track record includes resolving extraordinary cases that other firms might find too complex:
- Environmental Damage: We successfully negotiated a deal for a client whose building was contaminated by 25 tonnes of raw sewage due to a neighbour's drainage error, ensuring they received full market value plus compensation.
- Negligent Surveys: We have helped homeowners recover significant sums (such as £60,000 settlements) when they purchased properties based on negligent pre-sale surveys.
- Subterranean Issues: We secured compensation for clients whose gardens were flooded by diverted watercourses, covering everything from de-watering systems to complete replanting.
Protecting Landlords and Tenants in Dilapidations
Whether you are a landlord protecting your investment or a tenant facing an inflated claim, we bring a strategic edge to dilapidations. We have handled claims ranging from small shop units to 40,000 sq ft industrial sites and cold stores.
"Our goal is always to find the 'true' figure. We recently saved a tenant £350,000 on a £400,000 claim by identifying where the landlord's intentions for the building made the original claim invalid."

In the sensitive area of matrimonial disputes, we provide impartial, RICS-compliant valuations that help parties reach a fair conclusion.
