Surface Water Flood Risk
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
Fantastic service buying a property through Taylor Brightwell. The team made the process ten times easier, always contactable, fast replies and would have no doubt taken a lot longer without their help.
Testimonial 2
When Steve arrived for our initial discussion, we were impressed with his friendly manner, putting us under no pressure, just explaining the current situation in the market. We decided to place our home with them and have had no cause to regret the decision, We were kept in the picture as various interested parties visited, until someone fell in love with our house and in time the sale went through. I must also mention Claire who was fantastic!
Testimonial 3
When you buy or sell a house there are bound to be choppy waters to sail. You will need people who can chart a steady course and guide you through and these guys certainly did that for us. We valued prompt and regular communication along with a shoulder to lean on when decisions had to be made. There always seemed to be a finger on the pulse for us when we rang with an concerns. Industry leaders I would say.
Testimonial 4
Claire was extremely helpful and kept us up to date throughout the whole process of purchasing our first home. She was excellent in organising for us to visit the property multiple times before moving in and bent over backwards to be at the office in order for us to collect the keys a day earlier than anticipated! I would highly recommend Taylor Brightwell, particularly Claire. Thanks for all your help.
Testimonial 5
Steve and Claire worked so hard to sell our house. When he first came to value the house, Steve was immediately impressive - he understood straightaway what the constraints would be on finding the right buyer and didn't make wild promises about the valuation. Steve was immensely helpful during the actual sale, keeping in touch with the buyer and sorting out all sorts of queries. Very good photography and property details. We'd thoroughly recommend!
Testimonial 6
Taylor Brightwell sold my father’s house in Stagsden, his first move in 36 years from our family home. Steve and Claire were excellent throughout and kept us fully informed throughout a challenging move in the year of Covid. Their full communication and friendly and professional approach helped make the house move as smooth as possible. We would thoroughly recommend.

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.
