High Risk Surface Flooding -FTB

Take a look at the Environment Agency (EA) website which details the extent of the flooding: https://www.gov.uk/check-flood-risk
You can view maps which will tell you more about it.
We are going through it now, and our survey flagged this risk. I actually emailed the EA directly and they confirmed there is a very low (0.1%) risk, and also reviewed the maps. Also, my childhood home is listed as a 'high' risk, however after living there 25 years, there was nothing to my recollection which indicated this to be true.0 -
Thank you both so much for your responses, this is really useful and it’s good to hear of others in a similar position
I will contact the EA and see what they say - I had a good walk around the whole estate today and there is a stream running around the outside almost like a moat which seems to be designed to take the water run off
Ciderboy the property is in Somerset, not a million miles from Bristol0 -
It's not many years since there was extensive flooding in Somerset. Can you search back and find if where your hose is now flooded then? If it didn't then it is probably not at much risk.0
