Professional Negligence (Surveyor)

IBB’s Real Estate Dispute Resolution team is experienced in handling complex cases involving professional negligence claims against solicitors, surveyors (including negligent valuations) and other professionals regarding property-related matters.

Many professional negligence claims against solicitors arise because they have failed to advise clients acquiring property on matters affecting that property, such as restrictive covenants, easements, or planning limitations.

Making a compensation claim for a surveyor’s negligence

The scope of services provided by surveyors is wide and negligence actions could arise, for example, from:

• valuations to lenders wishing to secure loans against assets;
• providing building surveys to purchasers;
• purchasing properties; or
• advising tenants and landlords on compliance with break conditions for the early termination of commercial leases.

IBB can provide a complete service to advise potential claimants on the merits of any claim, liaising with a professional’s insurers, obtaining experts’ reports and, if necessary, conducting litigation in the High Court or County Court.
