Following the acceptance of an offer on a detached residential property, the environmental search pack highlighted a potential flood risk from rivers, which necessitated further analysis. Before proceeding with the purchase, the client requested a comprehensive assessment of flood risk from rivers to make an informed decision.
Our Approach: Property Flood Review: Detailed Assessment of River Flood Risk
Ashfield undertook a Property Flood Review desktop report, which assessed the identified flood risk assessment from rivers in greater detail, supplemented by historical flood data review and planning application information. The report concluded a moderate risk of river flooding at the property but also identified a planned flood alleviation scheme scheduled for implementation within the next five to ten years.
