Property is big business. Developers and the public
alike are benefiting from the upturn in the market. The
current housing boom has led to many people deciding to
extend their home or develop building projects that may
not have been possible a few years ago.
If you decide to have such work completed, you will
more than likely need to instruct an architect and then
a builder / building contractor to assist you. Mistakes
made by such professionals, whilst uncommon, can be very
costly indeed.
We are a firm of compensation lawyers who specialise
in claims for professional negligence. If you have
suffered loss or damage as a result of the negligent
advice or actions of an architect or builder - we may be
able to help.

and do not waste time by repeating key issues.
Architects
Most architects are regulated by the
Royal
Institute of British Architects. The Government has
also introduced a body called the
Architects Registration Board to oversee the work of
such professionals in the UK.
Despite the excellent standards set by the regulatory
powers, architects do make mistakes. When errors occur
they can have serious consequences and serious expense
for the instructing client or the owner of the building
concerned. There are well structured complaints
procedures but most disputes will involve legal action
if an agreement cannot be reached to rectify the
problem.
Architects generally will have their own insurance to
cover acts of professional negligence. If you have a
dispute with such professionals and you can prove
negligence, the insurers may be willing to pay your
damages and your legal costs
Builders & building contractors
The building
profession is less regulated and many builders do
not have the necessary insurance. This is why choosing
an appropriate builder is vital to the success of the
building project. If you are reading these pages then
it may well be that the damage has already been done.
This is where our specialised NO WIN NO FEE service can
help. We have a team of dedicated professional
negligence solicitors who can advise you on your
prospects of taking legal action against the party or
parties who provided the poor advice.
We can deal with cases involving:
Negligent architect advice
Inadequate plans or project / preparation work
Negligent building works
Contractual issues and many other issues
* PLEASE NOTE *
We cannot help with
general complaints about poor service OR poor
professional attitudes or procedures. We deal with
financial loss claims and in order to pursue such a
claim you must be able to demonstrate an actual loss has
been or is likely to be sustained.
