The expert and expertise

Unlike the Anglo-Saxon countries that would not even consider to buy a boat without the help of an expert, in France, this reflex has not yet been entered in the customs, or at least, it is just beginning.

The expert’s role is primarily to provide a technical response to appraise the property, in order to decide on the capacity of the ship to sail, its compliance with applicable regulations, the state, its market value. This can be likened to a technical inspection.

The expert must respect professional ethics. It should be neutral, independent, and remain objective regardless of the mission entrusted to him. He must first withdraw from any expertise that does not fit in its jurisdiction, or where appropriate, to use a sapiteur.

The expertise is not yet a regulated profession, it is the applicant’s responsibility to inform the skills and abilities of the expert to realize its application in accordance with its mission statement.
