Real estate agents do not enjoy an unblemished reputation. However, this does not mean that each one is incompetent, misleading or negligent. In fact, most provide a good, honest service, but some do make mistakes, and whether a mistake has been made through incompetence or malpractice, if a buyer, seller or landlord suffers financial loss as a result, a suitably qualified professional negligence solicitor may be able to help the client claim compensation. Healys are experts in claims against estate agents, so contact us today.
Our letting agent let us down very badly and caused us a huge financial loss. We were in search of a professional that could understand us, and our needs. I chose to contact Robert Johnson as he is highly recommended by Legal 500/Chambers for his expertise in professional negligence work, skills in negotiation, and professionalism. Our initial meeting with Robert proved to be very satisfactory as we observed him to be as described by Legal 500/Chambers; he is a confident, approachable and knowledgeable professional who was very helpful and responsive to all our questions and concerns. Although our case is still in progress, we have full trust and confidence in Robert’s skills, knowledge and experience and are eagerly waiting for a successful outcome of our case against our letting agent.

Claims Against Estate Agents, What can I claim for?
Where appropriate a complaint about the activities of an estate agent may be registered with one of the following organisations, the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA), the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA), the Association of Residential Managing Agents (ARMA), the National Approved Letting Scheme (NALS), the UK Association of Letting Agents (UKALA) or the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).
I was highly impressed with Robert Johnson personally; his knowledge, experience and professionalism (i.e. swift response to emails) was highly commendable – exactly what I had expected from the other testimonials on the website and why I chose Healys in the first instance.

There are many circumstances where it may be advisable to proceed with a claim against your estate agent. For example when the estate agent has:
- Negligently drafted a property’s particulars of sale;
- Negligently offered a property for sale at an incorrect value;
- Negligently failed to provide continuing advice in the context of a changing property market;
- Negligently made errors in their role as a letting agent.
Proving professional negligence against an estate agent can be a complex process and is likely to require the advice of a solicitor with specialist knowledge and experience of seeking claims.
For a case to succeed, the claimant must establish that the estate agent owed him or her a duty of care and that there was a breach of that duty which resulted in financial loss.
Misleading information, misrepresentation and over- or under- valuations are some of the most common reasons clients prove with negligence claims against estate agents.
