Architect negligence happens when an architect doesn’t meet the standards expected of their profession, causing you financial loss or harm. Common issues include failing to obtain planning permission, providing faulty designs, or missing deadlines – all of which may give you grounds to make a formal complaint or pursue a negligence claim against your architect.
At CEL Solicitors, we specialise in professional negligence claims against architects. Our expert solicitors will take the time to understand your situation and advise you on the best way forward. Whether your architect has delivered substandard work or neglected their duty of care, we aim to resolve matters as efficiently as possible.
We offer:
We work under a no-win, no-fee agreement (a Conditional Fee Agreement), so there’s nothing to pay upfront. If you win, any fees we can’t recover from the other side come out of your compensation.
Our solicitors will thoroughly review your case to provide the best advice and strategy.
We work to resolve matters as efficiently as possible, to minimise stress and inconvenience.
From your first call to the final outcome, we’re with you every step of the way.
In most cases, you have six years from the date of the negligence. If you only found out about the problem later, you may have three years from when you found out instead, with an overall limit of 15 years. If the work was on your home and has left it unfit to live in, you may have up to 15 years, or 30 years for work finished before 28 June 2022
Architect negligence can occur in various areas of building and construction. Here are some common issues where our specialist solicitors can step in to help you recover your losses:
Errors in architectural design can lead to structural issues, safety hazards, or increased costs for corrections. If your home or business property suffers due to poor design, you may have a claim against your architect.
Failure to comply with building regulations can result in legal consequences and costly changes. If your architect’s negligence has caused these issues, you may be entitled to compensation.
If an architect fails to manage a project properly, such as missing deadlines or miscommunicating with contractors, this can lead to delays and additional expenses. We can help you address these problems.
An architect is responsible for ensuring that construction is carried out as per the approved plans. If they neglect this duty and it leads to subpar work, you may have grounds for a claim.
Speak to our friendly team today. You are not alone, and you may have a case.

Yes. In most cases, you have six years from the date of the negligence. If you only found out about the problem later, you may have three years from when you found out instead, with an overall limit of 15 years. If the work was on your home and has left it unfit to live in, you may have longer. Please get in touch as soon as you can.
Key evidence may include your contract with the architect, copies of correspondence, drawings or plans, expert reports, and proof of financial loss. If you’re unsure where to start, we can help gather the documents needed to build a strong case.
Not always. Many professional negligence claims are resolved through negotiation or mediation. If your case does go to court, we’ll support and guide you throughout the entire process.
That depends on the financial loss and the impact the negligence has had on you. Once our team of professional negligence solicitors has reviewed your case, we’ll provide a clearer picture of what your claim might be worth.
No-win, no-fee means you won’t pay our legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful. There’s nothing to pay upfront and no hidden charges. If your claim succeeds, we’ll usually recover some of our costs from the other side, and any fees we can’t recover come out of your compensation. We’ll explain exactly how much before you sign anything.
