The standard property information forms sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a standard inquiry of the seller to discover whether the premises has ever been flooded. If the property has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the vendor, then a buyer may commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading answer. The buyer’s conveyancers should also commission an enviro report. This should reveal if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be carried out.

In some cases an enquiry agent should be useful to try and locate and prepare a report which can be accepted by the court as proof that the freeholder is indeed missing.
