Professional Negligence Claims Against Surveyors

Disputes involving surveyors often happen because the surveyor in question has not complied with the terms of the contract. Or, because the surveyor has not met the expected standard when carrying out their work. Typically, this will result in a costly repair bill for the claimant, which he/she had not foreseen. It can also affect the value of a property, which may lead to losses for the claimant when he/she comes to sell.

Causes Of Surveyor Negligence Claims Include-

Failure To:-

  • Detect defects in the property
  • Perform a full inspection for a property valuation
  • Value a property based on correct information
  • Warn about areas of concern

Professional Negligence Claims Against Architects

Architects design both residential and commercial properties. Depending on the terms of the agreement, an architect may also be asked to oversee the development, too. If the terms of the contract are not met, or the architect is deemed incompetent, it can cause serious problems. The property may be structurally unsound, breach building regulations, or require further building work. The property may even have to be demolished.

Causes Of Architect Negligence Claims Include –

  • Defective property plans or drawings
  • Not complying with building regulations
  • Failure to advise about planning permission
  • Not managing/supervising a project (if contracted to do so)

Professional Negligence Claims Against Builders

Claims involving builders and other tradespeople can be particularly complex because there is not always a contract in place. Even in the absence of a contract, builders and tradespeople must meet a certain standard. Anything short of this can be costly for the homeowner to repair. It can also be dangerous, especially if there are construction, electrical or roofing defects.

Causes Of Negligence Claims Against Builders Include –

  • Failure to follow architectural plans
  • Failure to adhere to building regulations
  • Using the wrong materials
  • Defective workmanship
