How Drainage Experts Support Faster, Smoother Conveyancing

Conveyancing is already a complex process — and drainage issues are making it even harder. Whether it’s a flagged septic tank, an unknown discharge point, or an outdated system, private drainage problems are now one of the most common causes of property sale delays.

At Drain and Tank Solutions SW, we offer fast, reliable drainage services that help conveyancers close transactions on time.

🧭 Why Drainage Issues Affect Conveyancing

Since UK regulations changed in 2020, septic tanks and private drainage systems must meet strict Environment Agency (EA) and Building Regulation standards. During conveyancing:

• Surveyors flag possible non-compliance

• Solicitors request evidence and reports

• Mortgage lenders may pause or withdraw offers

• Buyers often demand repair or upgrade costs

🔍 “Drainage delays are now one of the leading issues slowing property sales in rural areas.”
