The standard property information forms given to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a usual question of the owner to discover whether the premises has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred which is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser may commence a compensation claim resulting from an inaccurate reply. A purchaser’s conveyancers will also commission an environmental report. This should reveal whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be conducted.
