Sheffield has a substantial professional services sector serving the city's diverse economy. The city's large property market, manufacturing sector, and two major universities generate regular conveyancing, surveying, and professional advice negligence claims.
Sheffield's property market — spanning Victorian terraces, student rental properties, and new city centre developments — creates a steady volume of surveyor and conveyancer negligence claims. The city's manufacturing and engineering sector generates accountancy and business advice claims. The two universities create education-related professional negligence claims.
A surveyor undertaking a HomeBuyer Report on a Sheffield Victorian terrace failed to identify significant structural movement. The buyer faced £28,000 in unexpected repair costs.

Sheffield's key industries include manufacturing and engineering (the Don Valley), digital and creative (the Cultural Industries Quarter), property and construction, and education (the two universities).
