Should my solicitor be raising questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Frenchay Common.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Frenchay Common. Some people will buy a property in Frenchay Common, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that can be undertaken by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Frenchay Common. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual question of the owner to determine if the property has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the vendor, then a buyer may issue a compensation claim stemming from an incorrect response. The purchaser’s solicitors will also commission an environmental report. This will reveal whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be made.

My wife and I have agreed a price on a Frenchay Common flat we inherited 8 years ago in 2012. I have over twenty years conveyancing know-how and, now retired, intend to do my own legal work.
