Frequently asked questions — Swindon

My surveyor missed post-war construction defects in Swindon — can I claim?

Yes. Post-war system-built properties have specific structural risks that a competent surveyor should be aware of and report on. If the surveyor failed to identify significant defects, they may be negligent. The claim would be for the cost of unexpected repairs.

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.
