Aberdeen has a substantial professional services sector serving the city's oil and gas economy. The city's large property market, oil and gas sector, and two major universities generate regular conveyancing, surveying, and professional advice negligence claims. Scottish law applies to all professional negligence claims in Aberdeen.
Aberdeen's property market — spanning Victorian granite properties, granite tenements, and new developments — creates a steady volume of surveyor and conveyancer negligence claims. The city's oil and gas sector generates accountancy and business advice claims. Granite properties have specific repair challenges that create specific surveying negligence risks.
A surveyor undertaking a HomeBuyer Report on an Aberdeen granite property failed to identify significant damp issues caused by the porous granite construction. The buyer faced £18,000 in unexpected damp remediation costs.
An accountant advising an Aberdeen oil and gas contractor incorrectly advised on the tax treatment of certain offshore expenses. The contractor faced a significant HMRC assessment.
Aberdeen's key industries include oil and gas (BP, Shell, TotalEnergies), renewable energy, property and construction, and education (the two universities).
Yes. Aberdeen's granite properties have specific damp risks due to the porous nature of granite, and a competent surveyor should be aware of these risks and report on them. If the surveyor failed to identify significant damp issues, they may be negligent. Scottish law applies to this claim.
Yes, if the advice was negligent. Oil and gas tax is a specialist area, and accountants advising oil and gas contractors must have adequate expertise. If the accountant failed to identify a tax liability that a reasonably competent oil and gas accountant would have identified, they may be negligent. Scottish law applies to this claim.
