A claim could be made against a surveyor who has not provided his services to a standard usually provided by a reasonably competent surveyor.

For example, a claim could be made in the following circumstances where a surveyor has:-

• Advised upon the wrong level of survey;
• Failed to record defects when valuing a property;
• Failed to properly inspect the property;
• Produced a defective report.

Whether you will have a professional negligence claim against a surveyor will depend on a number of factors. These include:-

• Being able to establish if a duty is owed to you;
• That there was a failure to provide the services in a way which could reasonably be expected;
• And that as a direct result you have suffered a financial loss.

We can advise you upon whether you have a prospective claim. You may also have a claim against that professional based upon contract law. Whether you have a claim will depend upon the individual circumstances of your claim.
