Estate Agent Professional Negligence

Real estate agents do not enjoy an unblemished reputation. However, this does not mean that each one is incompetent, misleading or negligent. In fact, most provide a good, honest service, but some do make mistakes, and whether a mistake has been made through incompetence or malpractice, if a buyer, seller or landlord suffers financial loss as a result, a suitably qualified professional negligence solicitor may be able to help the client claim compensation.

There are many circumstances where it may be advisable to proceed with a claim against your estate agent. For example when the estate agent has:

• Negligently drafted a property’s particulars of sale;
• Negligently offered a property for sale at an incorrect value;
• Negligently failed to provide continuing advice in the context of a changing property market;
• Negligently made errors in their role as a letting agent.
