House insurance renewal quote £1750?!?!? Flood plain, any advice?

We just got our renewal quote and it's gone from £520 to £1750! It's the same house, we've had no claims, no changes at all. I'm on maternity leave and I'm having a panic over this.

I'm trying to look around for another insurer but we can only use a very small number as our property is 50m from a river and the area flooded once in the 70s before the houses were built. It isn't on any current flood risk maps. Most insurers look at the postcode and just say no. Any ideas what companies I can get quotes from that cover flood?

It will be because house re-build costs have gone through the roof. I would try to find an insurance broker rather than doing the footwork of going to dozens.
