Licensed & Leisure

We live in a litigious world and more and more disputes are being referred to the Courts, to Arbitration, to Independent Experts or to PACT (professional arbitration on court terms).

Brownill Bateman have many years experience in licensed property valuation and agency issues and specialise in dispute resolution services.

Partner Rodger Vickers is on the panel of the President of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and receives regular appointments both as an Arbitrator and as an Independent Expert dealing mainly with rent reviews under the terms of licensed property leases but also with other disputes. Rodger is similarly, given the breadth of his experience in the field, best placed and fully qualified to represent licensed property landlords or tenants in rent review issues both in respect of negotiating a settlement or, should the need arise, in preparing representations and counter representations and generally heading the Arbitration or Independent Expert submission process on behalf of a client or a client Company.

Rodger is a member of the Expert Witness Institute and his appearances as expert have seen him assisting the courts across the country in respect of professional negligence, misrepresentation, matrimonial disputes, fraud and lease renewal trials.

Rodger also deals with Lands Tribunal proceedings primarily in respect of compulsory purchase compensation claims.

Whilst a great deal of Rodger’s time is taken up in licensed property dispute resolution he continues to head a marketing team renowned as being a market leader in the launching of licensed property leases and the marketing of new leases and lease assignments. He sees this continuing day-to-day experience both of the market and of the operation of licensed property businesses as being an essential part of his expertise.
