Claims against Property Professionals

We frequently act for individuals and businesses in relation to negligence claims against property professionals.

These types of disputes can be particularly complex and encompass anything from the negligent design of an individual’s home to a failure to properly undertake a survey for a company on a large scale commercial transaction. The common theme is that our clients have suffered significant financial losses in relation to land or property as a result of failures on the part of property professionals.

Property professionals include but are not limited to surveyors, engineers, architects, project managers, property management companies, letting agents, estate agents and valuers.

We are able to work alongside our Real Estate and Construction team to ensure that we achieve the best outcome for our clients.

Property professionals will usually have the benefit of professional indemnity insurance so that, assuming liability is established, successful claimants will be able to recover some or all of their loss and the majority of their legal costs of bringing the claim. In any event, we provide our clients with clear advice about costs and the various ways of funding a professional negligence claim, alongside strategic and commercial advice at every step of the case.
