Frequently asked questions — Swansea

My surveyor missed coastal exposure issues in Swansea Bay — can I claim?

Yes. Swansea Bay's coastal exposure is well-known, and a competent surveyor should identify and report on coastal exposure risks for waterfront properties. If the surveyor failed to adequately advise on these risks and you suffered loss as a result, they may be negligent.

My accountant gave incorrect tax advice — can I recover the penalties?

Yes, if the advice was negligent. If the accountant failed to identify a tax liability that a reasonably competent accountant would have identified, and you incurred HMRC penalties as a result, the accountant may be liable for the penalties and interest.
