In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the vendor, then a purchaser could bring a compensation claim resulting from an incorrect response. The buyer’s solicitors may also commission an environmental search. This will indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be carried out.
