Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Malvern. Some people will buy a house in Malvern, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that can be undertaken by the buyer or by their solicitors which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Malvern. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard inquiry of the owner to determine whether the premises has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the vendor, then a purchaser may bring a compensation claim as a result of such an incorrect response. A purchaser’s lawyers should also order an enviro report. This should disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be made.
