Glasgow has one of the largest professional services sectors in Scotland, with significant concentrations of solicitors, accountants, and surveyors serving the city's property market, industrial sector, and growing digital economy. Scottish law applies to all professional negligence claims in Glasgow.
Glasgow's property market — spanning Victorian tenements, new city centre developments, and Clyde waterfront properties — creates a steady volume of surveyor and conveyancer negligence claims. The city's industrial and logistics sector generates accountancy and business advice claims. Scottish professional negligence law differs from English law in some respects, and specialist Scottish legal advice is recommended.
A surveyor undertaking a HomeBuyer Report on a Glasgow tenement flat failed to identify significant shared roof defects. The buyer faced £20,000 in unexpected roof repair costs.
A conveyancing solicitor failed to adequately advise a buyer on the complex ownership structure of a Glasgow tenement flat under the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004, leading to unexpected liability for shared repairs.
Glasgow's key industries include financial services, digital and creative (MediaCityUK equivalent), manufacturing and logistics, property and construction, and education (the two universities).
Yes. Glasgow tenements have complex shared ownership structures, and a competent surveyor should identify and report on the condition of shared elements including the roof. If the surveyor failed to identify a significant defect, they were negligent. Scottish law applies to this claim.
Conveyancing solicitors in Scotland have a duty to identify and advise on all material aspects of the property's ownership structure under the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004. If they failed to advise on the shared ownership arrangements and you suffered loss as a result, you have a strong claim for professional negligence.
