Will our conveyancer be asking questions regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Axminster.

Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers conducting conveyancing in Axminster. Plenty of people will acquire a property in Axminster, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

A purchaser’s conveyancers will also conduct an enviro search. This should indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations should be conducted.
