Professional Indemnity for Property Valuers – why is it important?

Professional Property Valuers undertake valuations for a wide range of purposes. Property values may be questioned and errors can occur.

Property Valuers can face claims in unfavourable economic conditions where property values are disputed. Claims can also arise where instructions or communications are unclear or there has been a failure to make adequate enquiries about property. A commercial Property Valuer for example may also have to conduct higher risk valuations and exposure to claimants may be greater.
