Lawyers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous checks that may be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Eltham. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard inquiry of the seller to discover if the premises has historically flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the seller, then a buyer could issue a legal claim for losses stemming from an incorrect answer. The purchaser’s lawyers will also order an enviro report. This will disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be conducted.
