Southampton 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.
Southampton's property market — spanning Victorian and Edwardian housing, waterfront developments, 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 Southampton waterfront property failed to adequately advise on the tidal flood risk. The buyer subsequently suffered flood damage.
A conveyancing solicitor failed to identify significant service charge issues in a Southampton leasehold apartment. The buyer subsequently faced unexpected service charge demands.
Southampton's key industries include port and logistics (the Port of Southampton), maritime and marine, property and construction, and education (the two universities).
Yes. Southampton's tidal flood risk is well-known, and a competent surveyor should identify and report on flood risk for waterfront 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, including service charge arrangements. If they failed to identify significant service charge issues and you suffered loss as a result, you have a strong claim for professional negligence.
