If the residence has been flooded in past which is not revealed by the owner, then a buyer may commence a claim for damages stemming from an incorrect response. The purchaser’s conveyancers should also conduct an enviro search. This will indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be initiated.
