Septic Tanks & Sewage Treatment Plants - The Key Issues for Conveyancers

Introduction

Complex rules for septic tanks and treatment plants, and for sewage discharge, have created a minefield for clients and conveyancers alike. As a result, practitioners now have to consider matters such as trying to determine whether such a private drainage system is compliant with the rules, what additional pre-contract enquiries might need to be raised, and what extra checks you should recommend that your client undertakes.
