Flood Risk
Surface Water
Very Low
Unlike flooding from rivers, surface water flooding can happen many miles from a river, often in places that people wouldn’t expect because it’s a long way from a river or stream – it happens simply because there is nowhere else for the rainwater to go. Risk ratings are measured as:
High Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 30 (3.3%) in any one year.
Medium Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 100 (1.0%) in any one year.
Low Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 1000 (0.1%) in any one year.
Very Low Risk - an area in which the risk is below 1 in 1000 (0.1%) in any one year

Testimonial 1
From the initial valuation through to completion JW Wood were outstanding. They were extremely helpful, prompt with replies to queries and proactive in moving the sale on successfully. I have no hesitation in recommending this firm to other prospective sellers. Many thanks for all your work.
Testimonial 2
Excellent service from all in Darlington branch especially Gary who went above and beyond expectations. Once the sale was agreed we were contacted on a weekly basis by Gillian Anderson with updates on the buyers position keeping us all up to date. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the team to anyone. Will certainly use their experience again in the future. Thanks everyone for your help in completing the sale.
Testimonial 3
What impressed me most about the whole team at JW Wood was their calm and reassuring manner. It’s a stressful time selling or buying a house, and so much more so during a global pandemic, but every time I rang with a query or problem it was dealt with efficiently and I always felt reassured. Despite this very calm approach I was in no doubt that the whole team was totally on the ball, from the marketing and sales team - thank you!

Council Tax pays for multiple services in the property's local authority with only part of it going to the council itself. Residences within a Parish or Town Council area have an additional charge to fund the body. Each parish/town council has a different budget and imposes different fees. Not all councils have parishes/town councils and this varies across the country.

In instances where parish/town councils do affect the council tax value and we do not have the exact figure, we present council tax data with the below highlights. Take care to confirm which is being presented by the dashboard as this will need to be made clear to your clients:

avg - When we indicate the Council Tax price is 'avg', it means we have not been able to obtain an exact figure, so this number represents the mean value of Council Tax across the council for that property band. The exact figure will be slightly higher or lower because each parish/town council is priced differently.

min - When we indicate the Council Tax is a 'min', it represents the known amount that the council sets for itself, but excludes the parish/town council cost which we have not been able to obtain. The additional cost will need to be considered as it will be greater than the indicated price.
