• False Information On Property Info Form

    By Guest on 19th Jun 2017

    We purchased a property 2 months ago and the property was highlighted as a high risk flood area & indicated there had been a flood within 0 meters of the property. We asked the solicitor on e-mail to enquire if the property has previously flooded to which she replied 'The seller has stated in the sellers property information form that the property has NOT flooded'. So she did not enquire further & accepted this as confirmation. We have a copy of the information report which shows they have said it hasn't. We have since been told by neighbours that part of the property flooded 3 years ago and they had to have a lot of damage repaired, new carpets fitted, kitchen fitted etc. We want to know where we stand with this? I assume my house insurance is void because I have told them it has never flooded when it has, there is obviously a risk of future flooding & damage and obviously if we ever want to sell the property we would have to declare which could de-value the price we get for it. Can we claim some sort of compensation for false information? If so what would the process be and would it be costly to us?
