Help! About to exchange on a property and because it flooded in 1968 (as did much of London I think) we are having trouble getting insurance. Because this came up in our searches we've signed an agreement to our solicitor committing to disclose this when obtaining insurance.... So I'm sure they.will be looking out for it in our policy on behalf of our lender. So far all insurance companies have explicitly asked if the property has flooded so we've not been able to just bypass the issue. It seems totally ridiculous! Much of London will have flooded before the Thames Barrier was built at some point. Has anyone had this issue or have any suggested way forward?
