Conveyancers frequently face questions about practical issues relating to drainage. The responsibility for repair of drains isn’t always clear and if a property is not connected to mains drainage other issues will arise depending on how the property drains and when that system was put in place. This session will consider:
- Responsibility for maintenance of drains and sewers
- SUDS & Expansion to all newbuilds
- Build-over and build-near agreements: potential impact of the Transfer of Private Sewers Regulations 2011
- Properties without mains drainage impact of the General Binding Rules
