Will my lawyer be raising enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Cinderford.

Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers specialising in conveyancing in Cinderford. There are those who acquire a property in Cinderford, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.

Lawyers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that can be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Cinderford. The conventional set of information sent to a buyer’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a usual question of the seller to discover if the premises has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the seller, then a purchaser may bring a claim for damages as a result of such an misleading answer. A buyer’s lawyers may also conduct an environmental report. This will indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be initiated.
