The conventional set of property information forms sent to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual inquiry of the vendor to find out whether the premises has historically flooded. In the event that the property has been flooded in past which is not revealed by the seller, then a buyer may issue a legal claim for losses resulting from an misleading reply. The buyer’s lawyers may also carry out an enviro search. This should indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be initiated.
