If flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the seller, then a buyer could issue a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate answer. The purchaser’s solicitors may also conduct an environmental search. This should disclose if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be conducted.
