In the event that the residence has been flooded in past which is not notified by the owner, then a purchaser could bring a legal claim for losses stemming from an incorrect reply. The buyer’s lawyers should also carry out an enviro search. This should indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be carried out.
