‘The Court of Appeal, in the decision of Bratt v Jones [2025] EWCA Civ 562, has opened the door to removing the pre-condition that in order for a valuer to be liable for negligent valuation of a property, their valuation must fall outside of a reasonable range of valuations. This may make it easier in the future, particularly for lenders, to recover losses as a result of negligent valuations, subject to the usual considerations, including limitation.’
