Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Ashford Kent. Plenty of people will purchase a property in Ashford Kent, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that can be initiated by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Ashford Kent. The conventional set of information supplied to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard question of the vendor to determine if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the seller, then a buyer could bring a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading response. The buyer’s lawyers may also commission an environmental report. This will indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be initiated.
