In the event that the residence has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the seller, then a buyer could commence a compensation claim as a result of such an incorrect response. The buyer’s conveyancers should also carry out an enviro search. This should indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be conducted.
