However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a various checks that may be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Wealdstone.

In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the vendor, then a buyer may commence a compensation claim resulting from an inaccurate answer. A purchaser’s lawyers should also commission an enviro search. This should disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be made.
