However, aside from the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the property.

In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the owner, then a purchaser could commence a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate answer. The purchaser’s lawyers should also commission an enviro search. This should indicate whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be carried out.
