Conveyancers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that may be initiated by the buyer or by their conveyancers which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in Weldon. The conventional set of information supplied to a buyer’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard inquiry of the owner to determine whether the property has ever been flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the owner, then a purchaser may commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an incorrect reply. The purchaser’s lawyers should also commission an enviro search. This will disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be conducted.
