A hospital consultant is suing the former sellers of his £625,000 home after being told to avoid using water during rain because raw sewage can back up into the front garden. The claim says flooding tied to the property causes wastewater to appear externally when it rains, leading to restrictions on showering and flushing.
The dispute centers on what was disclosed during the sale. According to the reporting, the buyer says the sellers failed to mention the flooding and sewage-related problem, despite it affecting how the home functions during wet weather. The legal case addresses whether relevant risks were communicated and whether the buyer suffered as a result. The reports describe the situation as an ongoing concern, with advice given to limit normal household water use during rainfall.
