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: 

• Missed or overlooked structural issues 
• Failure to identify termite or water damage 
• Inaccurate or unclear report findings 
• Incomplete documentation or inadequate photo evidence 
• Disputes over who was responsible for reporting particular issues 
• Claims of negligence or misrepresentation by buyers or property owners 

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.
