The standard completed inquiry forms supplied to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard question of the vendor to discover whether the property has historically flooded. In the event that the property has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the vendor, then a buyer could issue a claim for damages as a result of such an misleading answer. The purchaser’s conveyancers will also conduct an environmental report. This should indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be initiated.

My wife and I have had DIP from Leeds Building Society who said we could borrow up to £218k. When do we need to appoint a practitioner for conveyancing? Chipping Norton is where we are .
It would be wise to appoint a conveyancer now requesting that they generate a file on your behalf. This will enable: 1) the selling agent to send out the Sales Memorandum to all parties 2) the seller’s lawyer to submit the draft contract. However, do not instruct your lawyer to start searches until you receive your valuation report from Leeds Building Society and you are willing to move forward.
