Surveyors and valuers
We have extensive expertise in handling claims against surveyors and valuers.
Our know-how includes many years’ experience of dealing with lenders’ claims. We have dealt with hundreds of fraudulent and negligent over and under-valuation claims since the 1990s.
Managing agents, estate agents and auctioneers
Increasingly, managing agents, estate agents and auctioneers find themselves in the firing line.
We regularly advise on the ramifications of the Property Misdescriptions Act 1991 and the Occupiers’ Liability Acts and have defended misrepresentation and secret commission claims.
Defective title claims
Julia Stansfield and Clare Walker have a thriving practice dealing with defective title claims, including breaches of covenant and rights of way.
Conveyancing
In addition, many of our lawyers have significant expertise in defending claims against conveyancers. See under legal for further details.
Building and quantity surveyors
Our substantial experience in acting for both building and quantity surveyors is set out in our construction section.
Following rapid expansion over the last few years, the
professional negligence team at Hill Dickinson is now consolidating
its position. It has impressed peers in the legal market, who
praise the group's efficiency and organisation. Clients, meanwhile,
applaud the "approachability, professionalism and diplomacy" of
those working within the team. The firm sits on a number of
prestigious insurance panels and was reappointed to the Aviva panel
last year.
