The house had never flooded. One could say she shouldn't have taken the risk but she asked the right question and she got an
honest answer.

She got *part* of an answer.

We don't know how much else he reported, that the buyer either failed
to comprehend or did understand but discounted .If, for example, the
surveyor wrote WTE "This 50yr old property has never been flooded but
the EA shows a flood risk factor of X in this area".

Novice buyers will sometimes ignore factors/underestimate warnings
that a mortgage lender, insurer or more experienced buyer would hesitate
over.

Just so.

I'm only commenting on the statements made in this forum to the
effect that the surveyor didn't need to say anything.

We also have no idea of what the surveyor's instructions were;
it may have been to ignore flooding or whether it was worth 25%
of the purchase price (because they had a 75% deposit)!
