York has a substantial professional services sector serving the city's high-value property market and tourist economy. The city's large historic property market, flood risk, and two universities generate regular conveyancing, surveying, and professional advice negligence claims.
York's property market — spanning medieval, Georgian, and Victorian properties, many listed — creates a steady volume of surveyor and conveyancer negligence claims. The city's flood risk creates specific issues around flood risk searches and insurance advice. The two universities create education-related professional negligence claims.
A surveyor undertaking a HomeBuyer Report on a York riverside property failed to adequately advise on the significant flood risk. The buyer subsequently suffered flood damage.
A conveyancing solicitor failed to identify significant listed building restrictions on a York city centre property. The buyer subsequently faced unexpected costs when planning to renovate.
York's key industries include tourism and hospitality, financial services (Aviva and Hiscox), property and construction, and education (the two universities).
Yes. York's flood risk is well-known, and a competent surveyor should identify and report on flood risk for properties in the city. 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 restrictions affecting the property, including listed building restrictions. If they failed to identify these restrictions and you suffered loss as a result, you have a strong claim for professional negligence.
