However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.

Conveyancers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that may be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Biddulph. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual inquiry of the seller to determine whether the property has ever been flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the seller, then a purchaser could commence a compensation claim as a result of such an misleading reply. A buyer’s solicitors will also conduct an environmental search. This will reveal whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be conducted.
