Negligence in valuations and surveys

Summary

In a case involving a valuation for the purpose of mortgage lending, the court emphasised that there is not a single method of valuation that must be strictly followed in order to avoid a finding of negligence. Even if the methods adopted by a defendant are not perfect, and not even the best that could have been selected, they may still be methods that a reasonably competent practitioner is entitled to utilise.
