However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that can be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Thornton. The conventional set of property information forms supplied to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard question of the owner to determine whether the property has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the vendor, then a buyer could commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an incorrect answer. The purchaser’s solicitors will also conduct an environmental search. This will reveal if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be conducted.
