Simon founded Redfearn Experts, drawing on more than 25 years’ surveying experience and a wider background in building and construction. His work focuses on investigating housing conditions, understanding building defects and presenting clear, reasoned evidence to assist the court.

He accepts instructions from claimant solicitors, councils and housing providers, and is increasingly appointed as a single joint expert on behalf of both parties. His experience spans expert reports and Scott Schedules, joint inspections, expert discussions, joint statements and giving evidence in court. Whatever the source of the instruction, his approach centres on independence, careful investigation and impartial reporting.

Simon holds a Diploma in Quantity Surveying and an HND in Building Studies. He has completed specialist training in courtroom skills, expert discussions and thermal imaging, and is a co-author of A Practical Guide to Running Housing Disrepair and Cavity Wall Claims. He is also the founder behind Awaab Comply, developed to bring on-site investigation and reporting into a structured workflow for housing teams.

Outside work, Simon is a keen sailor, car enthusiast and beekeeper.
