Lawyers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous checks that can be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should figure out the risks in Carmarthen. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms supplied to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard question of the vendor to find out whether the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that the premises has been flooded in past and is not notified by the vendor, then a buyer may issue a claim for damages as a result of such an misleading response. A purchaser’s solicitors may also carry out an environmental report. This will disclose whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be conducted.
