Let's talk

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.

Healys are experts in claims against estate agents, so contact us today.

We have been working with people like you for over 40 years and we understand that sometimes an apology is not enough. At Healys we are here to help you recover any losses (financial or otherwise) that you have suffered and get the answers you deserve.

Our team has a wealth of experience in professional negligence and we have developed relations with leading chambers in the industry. We are recognized in the field by a leading industry directory, the Legal 500. We are also members of the Professional Negligence Lawyers Association.

Where appropriate a complaint about the activities of an estate agent may be registered with one of the following organisations, the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA), the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA), the Association of Residential Managing Agents (ARMA), the National Approved Letting Scheme (NALS), the UK Association of Letting Agents (UKALA) or the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).

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.

How We Can Help

Proving professional negligence against an estate agent can be a complex process and is likely to require the advice of a solicitor with specialist knowledge and experience of seeking claims.

For a case to succeed, the claimant must establish that the estate agent owed him or her a duty of care and that there was a breach of that duty which resulted in financial loss.

Misleading information, misrepresentation and over- or under- valuations are some of the most common reasons clients prove with negligence claims against estate agents.

We offer free initial advice on your claim and if you do wish to proceed we may offer in certain circumstances a “No Win No Fee” service in the form of a Conditional Fee Agreement.
