Liability for reporting on system built properties ‐ an update

Abstract

This article discusses a surveyor’s responsibility when reporting upon a system built property for mortgage valuation purposes. Recently the Court of Appeal has confirmed that a surveyor was negligent in not recommending further investigation prior to purchase. However conflicting views were expressed by the members of the Court of Appeal regarding the measure of damages payable and these are considered.
