Brighton has a substantial professional services sector serving the city's high-value property market and creative economy. The city's large Regency and Victorian property market, coastal exposure, and two major universities generate regular conveyancing, surveying, and professional advice negligence claims.
Brighton's property market — spanning Regency terraces, Victorian housing, and seafront properties, many listed — creates a steady volume of surveyor and conveyancer negligence claims. The city's creative and digital economy generates accountancy and business advice claims.
A surveyor undertaking a building survey on a Brighton Regency terrace failed to identify significant structural movement in the stucco facade. The buyer faced £45,000 in unexpected repair costs.
A conveyancing solicitor failed to identify significant listed building restrictions on a Brighton Regency property. The buyer subsequently faced unexpected costs when planning to renovate.
Brighton's key industries include creative and digital, tourism and hospitality, property and construction, and education (the two universities).
Yes. Regency properties have specific structural risks, and a competent surveyor should be aware of these risks and report on them. If the surveyor failed to identify significant structural movement, they may be negligent. The claim would be for the cost of unexpected repairs.
Conveyancing solicitors have a duty to identify and advise on all material restrictions affecting the property, including listed building restrictions. If they failed to identify these restrictions and you suffered loss as a result, you have a strong claim for professional negligence.
