FAQs: Flood Assessment Services
What is a flood risk assessment, and why do I need one?
A flood assessment is a risk report evaluating the likelihood of flooding at your property or business. A flood assessment is often required to secure planning, but also might be necessary to get insurance or a mortgage, or as a part of the conveyancing process.
How long does a flood risk assessment take?
The quickest timeframe we can complete a flood risk assessment is three working days. Timeframes can depend on what resources are required, how readily available they are, and the context or aims of the report.
How do I know if my property is at risk of flooding?
The best way to find out if your property is at risk of flooding is to get an official flood risk assessment. This looks at the history of flooding at the property, as well as the projected future potential for flooding.
