Hollywood stuntman sues surveyors
Robert Bowen, a Hollywood stuntman who body doubled Brad Pitt in F1: The Movie, is suing Beehoo Surveying Limited for £150,000.
Sewage problem in new home
The couple discovered foul drainage and sewage leaks after moving into their £495,000 Lincolnshire cottage in 2023.
Defective septic tank
The septic tank was not fit for purpose and needed replacing, costing £25,000 alone.
Other home defects
The property had faulty windows, broken solar panels, a leaking roof, and flooding issues.
Suing surveyors
Robert Bowen and Lucy Vaughan claim Beehoo Surveying failed to identify defects during Level 3 inspection before purchase.
Surveyors' defense
Beehoo Surveying admits some defects were not detectable during Level 3 inspection but denies responsibility for financial losses.
Total repair costs
The couple claims £143,570 to fix defects and £3,000 for temporary accommodation will total £146,570.
Legal claim details
The claimants relied on the survey report to make informed purchase decision and would not have bought property without knowing defects.
Surveyor's argument
Beehoo Surveying claims the seller concealed defects and the claimants' solicitors failed to investigate issues like solar panels and flood risk.
Suing for compensation
The couple is seeking £150,000 compensation for the property's defects and financial losses from repairs.
The main idea
Hollywood stuntman Robert Bowen claims surveyors missed sewage and structural defects in his £495,000 Lincolnshire home, seeking £150,000 compensation.
