<p>The Government commissioned Review of Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management
Assets has just concluded, and we expect to publish its findings by the summer.</p><p>
</p><p>The role of conveyancers (used when purchasing property) was considered as
part of the review. The Law Society has published a practice note for solicitors and
professional conveyancers on flood risk, which includes mention of riparian ownership
and further information they can use.</p><p> </p><p>Whilst the review covered England
only, since responsibility for flood risk management is a devolved matter, officials
from the Welsh Government and National Resources Wales, and a member from the Wales
Flood and Coastal Erosion Committee were members of the Project Board and Project
Steering Group.</p>
