Should my solicitor be raising questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Cherry Burton.

However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that can be initiated by the buyer or by their solicitors which should figure out the risks in Cherry Burton. The standard information supplied to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard inquiry of the seller to discover whether the premises has suffered from flooding. If the property has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the seller, then a purchaser could commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an inaccurate answer. The purchaser’s conveyancers will also conduct an environmental report. This should indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be initiated.
