Information is power! That was the message to attendees at the Thames Water Property Searches latest residential conveyancing CPD event, which took place at the Saw Swee Hock Centre, London School of Economics, on 14 September.

Since the transfer of a number of private sewers in October 2011, local water companies became responsible for their maintenance. Since 2017, SuDS (Sustainable urban Drainage Systems) have become more significant owing to the impacts of climate change and increased development in already urbanised areas. With these new developments, it’s highly likely that surface water sewers will not be adopted by the local water companies because of the SuDS system that’s been put in place by the developer. This is something that any buyer needs to be made aware of, as there will be a maintenance charge for the upkeep of the grounds and the SuDS system itself.
