Vendor lied on property form about flooding three months after buying my house has flooded

If you're on a phone I may be easier to just tag the name @Cazzy1964

Apologies in advance if I have misunderstood the OP, but if I understand correctly the couple referred to were two owners ago, who put the property up for sale at auction.
Your vendors bought at auction and later sold it to your son. If they bought at an auction are you certain they knew about the flood risk?

Your son needs to start with a timeline.

When did the vendor buy the property?
When did the floods occur? Check local papers, talk to neighbours.

Also review the auction pack and the flood searches done by the conveyancer. It sounds somewhat odd that a property that flooded twice in a short time does not show up on the searches

And in any event what exactly is the question about flooding? If it's "has the property ever flooded", and they already knew about the history, then I agree they ought to have said "yes".

Does he have a copy of the Environmental Report obtained by his solicitor/conveyancer?

Hi,

is this because of storm Babel?

Were neighbours or other nearby houses affected?

Yes it is .. two other neighbours on the same side were flooded

I guess you are quoting something and have got caught inside the quote box. If you click on the last icon above the reply box that looks like a "< / >" without the spaces, you can move the cursor outside of the box and then click it again to make it easier to write your comment.
