The conventional set of property information forms sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a usual inquiry of the owner to determine if the premises has ever been flooded.

A purchaser’s solicitors may also commission an environmental search. This will higlight whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be carried out.
