The vendor is getting two more quotes that are coming in can you please quote?
Yes of course but looking at the report the drainage field has failed. Quick land check reveals high ground water 🚩
Another check revealed flood zone 3 therefore a drainage field cannot be installed. So how are the others quoting for a new one??
Flood zone 3 is high probability of flooding therefore normal drainage fields are not suitable for this application.
The purchase could have gone through with a few thousand knocked off the house price with an estimate for a drainage field when in reality this is going to be a whole different project with a carefully designed new system in it’s entirety.
My advice and time for checking was free of charge but I am safe in the knowledge the purchaser has more knowledge to move forward.
Whether the vendor goes with the other quotes for a drainage field that would be incorrect is entirely up to them but having a failed Drainage field already I would imagine it’s for this very reason.
Have a fab day
