Hi The house that I'm intending to buy is in a high risk flood area (I thought this would be the case as it's 5-600m away from the river Trent) so a copy of the flood report had to be sent to my mortgage company (Nationwide).

The report was specific to the property and said it was a high risk. I've done some searching today and there appears to be a few insurance companies willing to provide cover. It's about 850m from the river but only 175m from a lake.

The company I'm thinking of going with is Webmoney. Has anyone had any experience with them. I'm going to have to call them on monday as I can't finish the quote online as you need to say when you want the insurance to start but since I've not got a completion date I don't know.
