Professional Negligence Claims Against Surveyors, Scotland

Surveyors’ duty of care

Surveyors are able to tell you a number of things, such as whether there are any structural issues with the property you are buying, like a chimney stack about to fall down, or whether there are any minor (or major) repairs that will need to be carried out.

In delivering their service, like all professionals, they owe their clients a duty of care.

They are in danger of breaching this duty of care and causing loss to their clients if their service falls below the professional standards expected.

If you have instructed a surveyor prior to purchasing a property and that surveyor missed defects in the property or overvalued the property, this can result in significant financial loss to you. If this has happened to you, contact the specialist surveyor solicitors at Jones Whyte today.

We can support you through the process and ensure it is resolved in your favour.
