Zone 2 Flood Risk Advice

[Dizeee]

Never lived in one, and the house we are now looking at buying is potentially in one. There are pictures of the road being impassable in 2013 where it flooded although no evidence of any property damage. The flood zone map shows the house just in a zone 2 area, behind it is a zone 3 area where there is a river and resevoir of some sort.

Is it really that risky situation as the risk seems to be anything from between 1 in 100 to 1 in 1000.

Thanks

This one seems right on the border of a very low risk and a low risk from looking at the environmental agency plans but we are going to ask the question when we view. It seems it is further down the road that floods but we will assess in detail when we go.

Well yet again we have now lost out on this house (fourth one now) despite it being comfortablly within our budget and as usual no explanation from the estate agents as to why. All that did happen was a complete dis service to us buy them, failing to communicate (as usual) and then putting forward a full and final offer on our behalf which never was a full and final offer at all. Then came a load of nonsense about the vendors being abroad and not contactable the week after a double open day, followed then by the revelation that the agents had sold numerous properties on their behalf and not to bother increasing our offer as they were sticking with the other purchasers. For no apparent reason.
