We're looking to move out to somewhere a little more rural and have spotted a gorgeous doer-upper that has been on the market for some time (ok, not currently that gorgeous, but an old cottage that could be gorgeous!).
I've not viewed it yet, but have been told that its at risk of flooding and apparently a friend living in the next village believes it might have flooded at the most recent floods (end of last year / early this year).
It has been rented out for years (old farm cottage) and has 3 close neighbours - one of which is a brand new house, that surely wouldn't have been built on a high flood risk area?
Driving by today, both neighbours houses looked in good order. I don't know whether to go view, or just steer clear. MY worry if I view is that i'll fall in love and never be able to forget it!

Would you consider buying a house at risk of flooding?
