According
to the Environment Agency, around 5 million people in 2 million properties live
in flood-risk areas in England and Wales. The
Homecheck Professional Flood Report is the most comprehensive product on the market,
giving homebuyers all the vital information that they need on whether their property
is at risk. Traditionally,
flood risk has been based on indicative flood data. The Homecheck Professional
Flood Report is able to differentiate between properties within a flood plain;
identifying, for example, those properties on higher ground and which therefore
face reduced risk or no risk. The
Homecheck Professional Flood Report is available NOW for only £18.57 inclusive
of VAT (£16.15 +VAT). The
report assesses these key issues:
Flood Risk – Is the property in or within 250 metres of an area affected
by flooding (Zone 3) or extreme flooding (Zone 2)? Flood Defence –
Is the property in or within 250 metres of flood defences as recorded by the Environment
Agency? Flood Defended Area – Is the property in or within 250 metres
of an area benefiting from flood defences? And
