However, aside from the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or dispose of the premises.

In the event that the residence has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the seller, then a purchaser could issue a compensation claim stemming from an incorrect response. A buyer’s solicitors may also carry out an environmental search. This should disclose whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be carried out.
