Frequently asked questions — Hull

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

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.

My solicitor failed to obtain a flood risk search — 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 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.
