Portsmouth has a substantial professional services sector serving the city's diverse economy. The city's large property market, naval and defence sector, and the University of Portsmouth generate regular conveyancing, surveying, and professional advice negligence claims.
Portsmouth's property market — spanning Victorian terraces, seafront properties, and new city centre developments — creates a steady volume of surveyor and conveyancer negligence claims. The city's naval and defence sector generates accountancy and business advice claims.
A surveyor undertaking a HomeBuyer Report on a Portsmouth seafront property failed to adequately advise on the tidal flood risk. The buyer subsequently suffered flood damage.
A conveyancing solicitor failed to identify significant leasehold issues in a Portsmouth apartment. The buyer subsequently faced unexpected costs.
Portsmouth's key industries include naval and defence (the Royal Navy and BAE Systems), maritime, property and construction, and education (the University of Portsmouth).
Yes. Portsmouth's tidal flood risk is well-known given its island geography, and a competent surveyor should identify and report on flood risk for seafront properties. 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 identify and advise on all material aspects of a leasehold property. If they failed to identify significant leasehold issues and you suffered loss as a result, you have a strong claim for professional negligence.
