The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors dealing with homes in Moor Park.

If the property has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the owner, then a buyer could bring a claim for damages resulting from an incorrect response. The buyer’s lawyers should also carry out an environmental report. This should indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be made.
