Misrepresentation, Enquiries and How to Avoid Liability

A course for property professionals

A knowledge of enquiries, how to respond to them, how to avoid misrepresentation and raising appropriate enquiries is fundamental for all property professionals. In addition, the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 may give rise to liability for non-disclosure and not merely misrepresentation. The course aims to look at some of the issues. Topics covered include:

· Misrepresentation generally;

· Enquiries generally including case law;

· Limiting liability and validity of exclusion clauses;

· Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024;

· Liability for concealment and non-disclosure;

· Liability for misrepresentation in auctions;

· Specific areas – building safety, fire safety and enquiries as to boundaries in the light of recent case law.
