The conventional set of completed inquiry forms supplied to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a usual inquiry of the seller to find out whether the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not notified by the seller, then a buyer may bring a compensation claim resulting from an misleading answer. The purchaser’s lawyers will also conduct an environmental search. This will higlight whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be made.
