Claims made against Building Inspectors often arise from disputes after a property is purchased or when defects emerge that were not identified in a report. Common claims often include:Â
- Missed or overlooked structural issuesÂ
- Failure to identify termite or water damageÂ
- Inaccurate or unclear report findingsÂ
- Incomplete documentation or inadequate photo evidenceÂ
- Disputes over who was responsible for reporting particular issuesÂ
- Claims of negligence or misrepresentation by buyers or property ownersÂ
Even with a thorough inspection process, a dissatisfied client may still lodge a claim. Having Professional Indemnity insurance gives you access to expert support and protection in these situations.Â
