Hi,
My partner and I are looking at properties in the Peebles area and, as you may know, a lot of the properties are close to the Tweed and Eddleston Water. Its also quite common (so I am told) for there to be flooding.
How do you go about working out if a property is in the 'danger zone'?

Well for insurance purposes it's within 100m of flowing water I believe0 -
There's a map on the SEPA site which should help.0

Sometimes the name of the road gives you a clue. Springfield Road, Marsh Road, etc.0

I live in Peebles with the Cuddy at the bottom of my garden, have never flooded and dont have problems with insurance.
Sepa have done flood prevention work on the Cuddy about 3 years ago which has noticeably reduced the water level as it approaches Peebles although the people on Cuddyside still have problems occasionally.
Last years major flood mainly affected properties by the Tweed, and it has been quite high a couple of times this year, but anyone can tell you where to avoid buying
ps Eddleston water is called the Cuddy in Peebles0
