Things to do before and after Moving home during a Flood in Attenborough

Changes in insurance policies could make it difficult or prohibitively expensive to insure homes which lie in a flood plain.The issue arises because an agreement between the Government and insurers to provide flood insurance is due to be withdrawn at the end of June 2013.  Therefore homeowners looking to renew their insurance policies from next June (ie a year before that date) could be in for a shock.Add to that the fact that the average claim for a flooded home is £30,000, and it is clear that the stakes for the industry and for the homeowner are high.
It pays to do some research.  Your Conveyance Solicitor will ask you if you would like to run ‘searches’ to investigate this, and the vendor is required to inform you if they are aware of flooding in the area. You can also do your own research by typing your postcode into the Government’s Environment Agency site for a free flood map of your area.
