However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that may be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Langport. The conventional set of property information forms supplied to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard inquiry of the vendor to find out if the premises has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the seller, then a buyer may issue a legal claim for losses as a result of such an incorrect response. A buyer’s lawyers will also commission an enviro report. This will indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be conducted.
