However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the property.

The conventional set of property information forms supplied to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard question of the owner to discover if the property has historically flooded. If the residence has been flooded in past and is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser may commence a legal claim for losses stemming from an inaccurate reply. A buyer’s conveyancers should also order an enviro report. This should reveal if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be conducted.
