Frequently asked questions — Bradford

My surveyor missed damp in a Bradford back-to-back terrace — can I claim?

Yes. Back-to-back terraces have specific damp risks through shared walls, and a competent surveyor should be aware of these risks and report on them. If the surveyor failed to identify significant damp, they may be negligent.

My solicitor failed to advise on shared wall liability — what can I claim?

Conveyancing solicitors have a duty to identify and advise on all material aspects of the property's ownership structure, including shared wall liability. If they failed to advise on this and you suffered loss as a result, you have a strong claim for professional negligence.
