There are a number of different surveys that a surveyor can undertake including mortgage valuation, homebuyer's report and full structural survey. The duty of care that a surveyor will owe you in these circumstances will vary depending on the level of survey that you commissioned.
Claims against surveyors and architects are usually dependent on obtaining supporting expert evidence from another suitably qualified surveyor or architect. This report will need to highlight the errors made by the original surveyor and the likely impact on the value of the property that such omissions or errors would have had.
We have extensive contacts with expert surveyors throughout the country and Levi Solicitors LLP are able to quickly obtain the necessary evidence to support a claim against a surveyor.
