Professional Services & Negligence Claims<\/h2>\n

We do not handle personal injury<\/h5>\n

Professional services \u2014 such as advice from surveyors, architects, accountants, financial advisers, or solicitors \u2014 must be provided with reasonable care and skill under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. If the professional falls below the expected standard and you suffer financial loss as a result, you may have a claim in negligence or under the Act.
\nCommon examples: a surveyor missing serious defects in a property purchase, incorrect tax advice leading to penalties, or flawed architectural plans causing extra building costs.
\nYou generally need to show reliance on their advice and resulting loss. Start with a formal complaint to the firm (most carry professional indemnity insurance).
\nIf unresolved, we can help assess the claim, gather evidence, and pursue it \u2014 often settling out of court.\"\"<\/p>\n
