right now? or when it's very wet? during a drought? when the tides in? should I call back tonight at low tide, will it be cheaper?A house isn't a home without a cat.
Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.
It's a recession when your neighbour loses his job; it's a depression when you lose yours.0 -
My insurance did not load the premuim at all, even though we are lower at high tide. Some insurers did ask if we where within 250 metres of a river - err just a bit LOL, how about 3 metres!! But most seem to use the EA stats and according to them its okay!!!Always on the hunt for a bargain0

It depends on what you mean by a risk of flooding. Has it actually flooded in the past? My house has a flood risk on it but it has never flooded and it's 125 years old. The house next door is set lower than mine and you have to walk down about 4 steps to get into it and that has flooded. I think because I have the same postcode as next door they consider this one to be a flood risk. The up side to it is I got it dirt cheap (£38,000) and was able to pay my mortage off in 2 years. The down side to it is insurance is very high if you can get it at all.2008 Comping ChallengeWon so far - £3010 Needed - £230Debt free since Oct 20040

No.
If you are asking yourself this question any future buyers when you try to resell will also be asking themselves the same question.0
