The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Whalley. Plenty of people will acquire a house in Whalley, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the property.

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.
