The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual question of the vendor to discover if the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the owner, then a purchaser could bring a claim for damages resulting from an inaccurate answer. A purchaser’s conveyancers should also order an environmental search. This should indicate whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be carried out.
