If the property has been flooded in past which is not revealed by the owner, then a buyer may bring a legal claim for losses as a result of such an incorrect response. A buyer’s lawyers may also conduct an environmental search. This should indicate whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be carried out.
