FLood risk area definition

What Is A High Flood Risk Area?

A high flood risk area is any area that is at a 1% to 3% chance of being flooded annually. Typically, these are areas that are in close proximity to the sea, a river, a lake or a canal, however, areas with unusually high levels of surface water can also be considered flood risks even if they are nowhere near a large body of water.

Is Flood Insurance Worth It?

Properties aren’t just at risk of flooding when they are close to large bodies of water. A burst pipe or a heavy rainfall can cause just as much damage. Prudent homeowners are aware of the risk of water damage and will insure their property accordingly. Your homes location and proximity to flood risks should help you decide if specialist flood risk insurance is right for you. However, if your property is at lower risk of flooding, the standard cover offered by most home insurance policies may be enough to satisfy your needs. Check the coverage offered by your policy carefully, and shop around if you think you need more protection.
