You will be trusted as the technical authority on housing disrepair, working at the interface between surveying, legal services, and resident outcomes. This role suits a surveyor who is confident operating in court-facing environments, comfortable challenging claims where appropriate, and equally capable of driving high-quality remedial solutions. The Opportunity You will take ownership of a varied and complex disrepair caseload, leading investigations from first inspection through to legal resolution. Acting as an expert voice, you will prepare court-ready technical reports, represent the organisation in legal settings, and work closely with solicitors and counsel to ensure cases are handled robustly, proportionately, and professionally. This is not a volume inspections role. It is a position for someone who enjoys technical depth, professional accountability, and being relied upon for sound, defensible judgement. What You'll Be Doing Leading on housing disrepair claims from pre-action through to settlement or court proceedings. Carrying out detailed inspections to diagnose defects, determine causation, and assess liability. Producing expert reports, Scott Schedules, schedules of condition, and witness statements suitable for court use. Acting as an expert witness where required, including attendance at conferences and court.

Excellent understanding of building pathology, defects diagnosis, damp and mould, and residential construction.

Why This Role Stands Out Salary starting from £60,000 , reflecting the seniority and specialist nature of the role. High-trust position with real autonomy and professional respect. Exposure to complex, interesting cases rather than transactional surveying. Hybrid working with flexibility around site and office time. A role that values expertise, judgement, and credibility over volume.
