Morning
Last year we bought a property that is slightly affected by a floodway. We did heaps of due diligence, checked property file, asked very pointed questions of the agent etc.
When we made an offer the owners inserted a clause that stated we were happy with due diligence on flood issues. This made us double check etc just to make sure.
A week after moving in we received an invite to a council meeting regarding the raising of the flood bank therefore increasing the risk of flooding to our home.
An different agent that was part of council was stunned that we hadn't been told.
We have a copy of a letter from Horizons that had been sent to the previous owner telling them that Horizons still held an interest in their property with regard to the floodway.
A house across the road was in the same situation, with the same agent and moved in at the same time as us. When we asked them about it they said they can't comment as they had signed a nondisclosure agreement.
Clearly the realestate agent paid them out....
I am about to contact the agency to complain.
What should I be asking for?
