About Professional Negligence in Gloucester

Professional negligence claims in Gloucester

Gloucester has a substantial professional services sector serving the city's diverse economy. The city's large historic property market, Severn flood risk, and the University of Gloucestershire generate regular conveyancing, surveying, and professional advice negligence claims.

Gloucester's property market — spanning medieval, Georgian, and Victorian properties, many listed — creates a steady volume of surveyor and conveyancer negligence claims. The city's Severn flood risk creates specific issues around flood risk searches and insurance advice.
