Frequently asked questions — Cheltenham

My surveyor missed a structural defect in a Cheltenham Regency property — can I claim?

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.

My IFA recommended an unsuitable investment — what are my rights?

IFAs have a duty to conduct adequate due diligence on any investment they recommend and to ensure it is suitable for your risk profile and circumstances. If the adviser failed to conduct due diligence, failed to explain the risks, or recommended an investment that was unsuitable, the advice was negligent.
