Newcastle has a substantial professional services sector serving the city's diverse economy. The city's large property market, port and logistics sector, and two major universities generate regular conveyancing, surveying, and professional advice negligence claims.
Newcastle's property market — spanning Tyneside flats, Victorian terraces, 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. The two universities create education-related professional negligence claims.
A surveyor undertaking a HomeBuyer Report on a Tyneside flat failed to identify significant shared roof defects. The buyer faced £18,000 in unexpected roof repair costs.
A conveyancing solicitor failed to adequately advise a buyer on the complex ownership structure of a Tyneside flat, leading to unexpected liability for shared repairs.
Newcastle's key industries include port and logistics (the Port of Tyne), manufacturing (Nissan at Washington), digital and creative, financial services, and education (the two universities).
Yes. Tyneside flats 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.
Conveyancing solicitors have a duty to identify and advise on all material aspects of the property's ownership structure. 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.
