Frequently asked questions — Doncaster

My surveyor failed to advise on Don flood risk in Doncaster — can I claim?

Yes. Doncaster's Don flood risk is well-known following the 2007 floods, and a competent surveyor should identify and report on flood risk for properties in the city. If the surveyor failed to adequately advise on the flood risk and you suffered loss as a result, they may be negligent.

My solicitor failed to obtain a flood risk search in Doncaster — what can I claim?

Conveyancing solicitors have a duty to obtain adequate searches and advise on the results. In a known flood risk area like Doncaster, a flood risk search is essential. If the solicitor failed to obtain this search and you suffered loss as a result, you have a strong claim for professional negligence.
