Solicitors are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous checks that may be carried out by the buyer or by their lawyers which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Raglan.

If the premises has been flooded in past which is not notified by the owner, then a buyer may issue a claim for damages as a result of such an incorrect reply. A buyer’s conveyancers may also carry out an enviro report. This should disclose if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be made.
