Expert witness
With increasing levels of professional negligence claims in the mortgage and loans sector, the Rockstead independent expert witness service is designed to provide claimants or defendants with the facts and expert opinion in potential or live PI claims.
We will work closely with you
Rockstead will analyse the file of every loan, measuring it against the lender’s own criteria and operational processes. We comment not only on compliance with criteria and underwriting rules, in most residential and commercial cases, but also provide our opinion based on a comparison with the market at the time of loan completion. This will establish whether the product or the lending criteria was in line with the market, or outside the market norm at the time.
