It's a lovely house, good luck. In terms of flooding, when the houses near me flooded (due to burst main), the water came through the airbricks as it was the lowest point into the house. If it is something you are worried about, you can buy a set of flood airbrick covers relatively cheaply and have these to hand.
Have you checked the UK flood map to assess your risk?

550 doesn't sound a bad premium as it has a history of flooding. I wonder what the excess is for flooding. It's not such a bargain if there is an excess of tens of thousands of pounds.0

Try morethan for a home insurance quote, I've had the same problem with the 2007 floods but they only ask for flooding history over the past 5 years!0

They tell us that flooding is going to become more and more of a problem so i'd be put off buying in any area that was at risk. However it looks a lovely house and it shouldn't cost a lot to get some sort flood defence ready to cover the doors and windows etc.Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
What it may grow to in time, I know not what.
