Hull has a substantial professional services sector serving the city's diverse economy. The city's large property market, port and logistics sector, and the University of Hull generate regular conveyancing, surveying, and professional advice negligence claims.
Hull's property market — spanning Victorian terraces, flood-risk properties, and new city centre developments — creates a steady volume of surveyor and conveyancer negligence claims. The city's port and logistics sector generates accountancy and business advice claims.
A surveyor undertaking a HomeBuyer Report on a Hull property failed to adequately advise on the significant flood risk. The buyer subsequently suffered flood damage and faced difficulty obtaining insurance.
A conveyancing solicitor failed to obtain an adequate flood risk search for a Hull property in a known flood risk area. The buyer was unaware of the flood risk when they completed the purchase.
Hull's key industries include port and logistics (the Port of Hull), manufacturing, renewable energy (offshore wind), and education (the University of Hull).
Yes. Hull's flood risk is well-known, 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.
Conveyancing solicitors have a duty to obtain adequate searches and advise on the results. In a known flood risk area like Hull, 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.
