About Property Damage in Dundee

Property damage claims in Dundee

Dundee's property damage profile is shaped by its position on the Tay estuary, its tenement housing stock, and its rapid regeneration. The Victorian tenements create specific liability questions, and the Tay creates flood risk.

Dundee's Victorian tenements in the West End, Lochee, and city centre create specific liability questions around shared structures and maintenance responsibility. The Tay waterfront regeneration creates new-build defect issues.
