My Neighbour And I Are Both Unsure As To Where The Boundary Between Our Properties Should Be. We Get On With Each Other Very Well And Neither Of Us Want To Fall Out Over A Few Inches Of Grass. Could We Both Jointly Ask You To Come And Survey The Boundary For Us?

Yes absolutely. The arrangement when two neighbours agree to instruct one surveyor is known as a ‘Single Joint Expert’ instruction. Typically, both parties will split the fees fifty-fifty and so it costs half as much to get the expert advice. Even though the two of you appear to get on well I should flag up that you need to agree between the two of you whether you are seeking advice (which either of you can choose to accept or reject) or whether you are seeking a determination whereby you both agree to be bound by the result arrived at by the expert.
