    Hi Des

    Thanks for input.
    Yup the Solicitor was obtained through legal expenses but the case was shelved as it no longer attracted funding without the expert report.The solicitors specialise in contentious litigation in the areas of personal injury,employment law and dispute resolution.
    Would you consider that to be a suitable specialist solicitor?
    I think there would be more appropriate solicitors

    I note it does not mention Professional Negligence.However,if I obtain a favourable expert report at least I would hopefully be able to reinstate their services to take to court unless they withdraw again which I would worry about and I would be committed after forking out 4.5k on a report.
    They are "jobbing" solicitors. There is a Professional Negligence Lawyers Association or you could try the Law Society's Find a Solicitor service

    I take your point about how can I be expected to be aware of a slope when the builder used a laser but would worry about Zurich or indeed any expert if asked about development of slopes indicating normally slopes would be apparent within the early years following completion of build.I know this didn`t occur and can produce witnesses to testify to that but how would a court view that?.In my circumstances my wife especially and myself were providing care for a dementia sufferer and simultaneously was aware they wanted to maintain independent lives so going into their home as it was and searching for minor defects was not practical and wouldn`t be anything a normal layperson would do.
    Doesn't matter what Zurich think, it would be for you to convince the court of your reasonableness

    If you consider my solicitor as unsuitable due to lack of specialism where would I find this specialist solicitor who could offer support in funding.?
    I have looked previously for a no win no fee solicitor but was unable to locate one in Glasgow.
    Any ideas to find one.?
    Suggestions above or google "professional negligence lawyers association Scotland "
    Good luck
