A buyer’s conveyancers will also carry out an environmental report. This will disclose if there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be carried out.

Me and my partner are about to complete buying a house in Swansea City but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have agreed reparation from the current proprietors of five thousand pounds by way of a deduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but the bank will not permit this. Why were they involved?
Any solicitor listed on a bank approved list is duty bound to advise the bank of any amendments to the purchase price. If you did not allow your property lawyer to notify the price change to your mortgage company then they would need to refrain from acting for you and the bank.
