Will our solicitor be making enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Bordon.

Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers conducting conveyancing in Bordon. There are those who purchase a property in Bordon, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.

Conveyancers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that may be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Bordon. The standard property information forms sent to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard inquiry of the vendor to determine if the property has historically flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the vendor, then a buyer could issue a compensation claim stemming from an misleading answer. The buyer’s solicitors will also carry out an environmental report. This should reveal if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be initiated.
