Surveyor and their insurance

Stephen H · 2012-07-04T22:57:56+00:00

To cut a long story short:we are in dispute with a surveyor. Our solicitor has written several times asking for his personal indemnity insurance details so that we can make a claim against his insurance company for his professional negligence and hence compensation for our losses.Each time, the surveyor has declined to provide his insurance company details to our solicitor.Does anyone know of a legal way of finding our who the surveyor is insured with so that we can put our claim in or to force the surveyor into providing his insurance details?Regards,S.

Assuming he's paid his membership fees...

If not, all you'll get of the RICS is a snooty letter saying that he is no longer a member, and he will get a letter asking him to remove the RICS accreditation from his advertising.

I am not sure, but I thought that the DPA applied to an individual's data, not to a campany's? I would presume that the surveyer is trading as a limited company and that the company's data is not so protected.

No, they just want to make money from their members and they wouldn't want to upset their sources of income would they?
