Property Compliance Across the South West: Drainage Matters More Than Ever
When it comes to buying, selling, or managing rural property in the South West, compliance with drainage and wastewater regulations is essential. From Devon to Cornwall, more property transactions are being delayed due to overlooked or outdated septic systems.
At Drain and Tank Solutions SW, we specialise in helping property professionals and homeowners across the region stay fully compliant — and avoid costly legal or financial setbacks.
📍 Why Compliance is Crucial in the South West
Much of the South West is off the mains drainage network. That means septic tanks, soakaways, and treatment plants are common — and tightly regulated.
🛑 “If the system doesn’t meet Environment Agency rules, lenders may refuse the mortgage, or solicitors may halt the transaction.”
Common compliance issues include:
Illegal discharge into watercourses
Outdated or broken systems
No proof of maintenance or installation
Systems not meeting BS EN12566 standards
