In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the seller, then a purchaser could issue a legal claim for losses as a result of such an incorrect answer. A buyer’s lawyers may also carry out an environmental search. This should reveal whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be conducted.
