High flood risk - surface water

[Nimbus1999]

So turns out the property I intended to buy is in the middle of a high risk area for surface flood. Not a little bit of dark blue, we’re talking a lot! There is no history of flooding as far as I know but I worry about the future - the gov website is the long term risk of future flooding.

Its pretty urban so guessing the drains can’t cope.

I’d be mad to buy right? I can’t believe how many people are saying it will be fine! I don’t want to get stuck with a house I can’t sell because of flooding….

Anyone been in a similar boat?

I had to check ours on gov when I was filling out forms and v surprised it shows as high risk surface water. No idea why and no flooding around here that I know about.

Yes, you would be mad. This was high up on our list of wants and jm so glad when I read about flooding.

3% flood risk is the risking any given year
