Cambridge has a substantial professional services sector serving the city's high-value property market and technology economy. The city's large historic property market, technology sector, and two major universities generate regular conveyancing, surveying, and professional advice negligence claims.
Cambridge's property market — spanning medieval, Georgian, and Victorian properties, many listed — creates a steady volume of surveyor and conveyancer negligence claims. The city's large technology sector generates accountancy and business advice claims. The two universities create education-related professional negligence claims.
A surveyor undertaking a HomeBuyer Report on a Cambridge riverside property failed to adequately advise on the Cam flood risk. The buyer subsequently suffered flood damage.
An accountant advising a Cambridge technology startup incorrectly advised on the tax treatment of certain R&D costs. The business faced a significant HMRC assessment.
Cambridge's key industries include technology and life sciences (the Cambridge Science Park), education (the two universities), property and construction, and financial services.
Yes. Cambridge's Cam flood risk is well-known, and a competent surveyor should identify and report on flood risk for riverside properties. If the surveyor failed to adequately advise on the flood risk and you suffered loss as a result, they may be negligent.
Yes, if the advice was negligent. Accountants giving R&D tax advice must ensure the costs genuinely qualify under the relevant legislation. If the accountant failed to properly assess whether the work met the statutory definition of R&D, and you incurred HMRC penalties as a result, you can claim for the disallowed relief, the penalties, and interest.
