Lawyers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that may be carried out by the purchaser or by their lawyers which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Whalley. The standard property information forms supplied to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard inquiry of the owner to discover whether the property has suffered from flooding. If the property has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the owner, then a purchaser could commence a compensation claim stemming from an incorrect answer. The purchaser’s lawyers will also conduct an environmental report. This should reveal if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be initiated.
