Will our conveyancer be raising enquiries concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Rustington.

Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers conducting conveyancing in Rustington. Some people will buy a property in Rustington, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from 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 premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.

Conveyancers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that can be undertaken by the buyer or by their solicitors which will figure out the risks in Rustington. The standard information supplied to a buyer’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard inquiry of the vendor to determine if the premises has ever been flooded. If flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the seller, then a buyer could issue a claim for damages as a result of such an incorrect reply. The purchaser’s lawyers may also order an environmental search. This should reveal whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be carried out.
