Professional Negligence Claim Against a Conveyancer

Unfortunately, sometimes property transactions can go wrong.

Professional Negligence Claim Against a Conveyancer

When you are buying or selling a property, it can be stressful—especially if your transaction is not dealt with in a professional manner. Whether your transaction is handled by a licensed conveyancer or a solicitor, you should expect it to be completed to a sufficient standard.

Unfortunately, sometimes property transactions can go wrong. Our team of professional negligence solicitors have years of experience dealing with substandard conveyancing. We work closely with our own commercial and residential property solicitors so that you can be assured you are receiving the best advice possible.

Conveyancing transactions can give rise to a variety of problems if they are not handled properly.

Examples of negligence:

  • A financial loss arising as a result of poor conveyancing
  • A solicitor or conveyancer giving the wrong advice
  • Failing to carry out property searches and enquiries
  • Failing to complete
  • Failing to define the boundaries properly
  • Failing to raise requisitions on title
  • Failing to investigate title properly
  • Missing a deadline

When should you reach out to our professional negligence solicitors?

You may wish to consider making a complaint directly to the firm about the issues you have had with the conveyancing and seek to have the matter resolved via the firm’s own complaints procedure. You also have the option of referring the matter to the Legal Ombudsman. If, however, you remain unhappy and wish to consider other options, then please do not hesitate to contact our professional negligence solicitors.

We understand that you may have lost faith in the previous solicitor or conveyancer; however, we will give you honest advice from the outset and will work with you to seek compensation for financial losses arising from negligent actions.
