Your dispute
Professional liability
Many of the disputes we deal with are concerned with claims against professionals involved with property. This includes claims against:
- Solicitors and barristers
- Surveyors and valuers
- Estate agents
- Property managers
- Architects
- Engineers
- Project managers
- Financial advisers
- Insurance brokers
- Designers and manufacturers
Insurance policy and coverage disputes
We also mediate insurance coverage disputes.
There may be a dispute over the terms of the policy, the extent of cover, the insurers' rejection of a claim or avoidance of a policy.
Disputes may involve claims concerning:
- Misrepresentation and non-disclosure
- Under insurance
- Overstatement of claims
- Notification
- Aggregation
- Non-compliance with policy conditions
- Interpretation of policy wording
- Contributions between multiple insurers.
The Property Mediators are uniformly excellent. They each display the key attributes of great mediators: patience, integrity, clarity of purpose, sensitivity and understanding, legal acumen and the ability to coax even the most obstinate person into a concession you never thought they ever would make.
