Very Low
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

About Example Agent
Welcome to JDG Estate Agents - officially ranked by The Property Academy in conjunction with Rightmove as the BEST Estate Agent in the UK!

At JDG, we like to do things a little differently. We have a different approach when it comes to valuing our homes for sale and a different approach when it also comes to selling them!
We want our clients (both buyers and sellers) to be better informed. We want to share with you our research and knowledge of the area so you can make fully informed decisions. Take this brochure, for example, if you researched lots of different websites, you could find all the information yourself. But that takes time, so we do it all for you, using trusted data sources.

We share with you what is happening with property prices. We let you know upfront about the broadband speeds and mobile phone connectivity. We check the environmental search for the flood risk and we download the title deed at the beginning. It helps to ensure we bring around the people, who are more likely to offer on your home.

Over the past 12 months, 1 in 4 homes on average have sold through our company. If you are thinking of buying or selling, we would love to help.
David Higginbottom, Sales Negotiator
Over 10 years experience in the DWP and 7 years in hospitality. Worked at JDG since 2017. I've been a national helpline operator, a cocktail barman and worked my way up to become the manager of a 5 Star hotel. Exceptional customer services has always been paramount to me, and I love working with buyers and sellers in the lettings team at JDG.

A little known fact about me
I really don't like mushrooms!
Testimonial 1
JDG is a very experienced agency and I cannot recommend their professional services strongly enough to anyone who wants to sell their house using a reliable, honest, and efficient team of people. The communication and good advice were just two of the benefits constant throughout the process.
Thank you, John, Michelle and Louisa.
Testimonial 2
We had been on the market for seven months with an estate agent and no offers. We decided to go with JDG as they had good reviews . The house was sold two days after going live with them. The whole process from start to finish was professionally handled.
Testimonial 3
I really couldn't find any fault with the service provided, from start to finish the communication was brilliant, they kept us up to date on all progress and issues and ultimately did what we wanted which was to sell our house. From creating the listing to feedback from viewings, everything was as or better than expected.
I would use them again for sure and have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone else.
Testimonial 4
The experience with JDG has been exceptional throughout. Every member of the team we had contact with was professional and demonstrated a real passion for what they do. We were making a big move to an island in Scotland and again they showed understanding of that challenge and could not have been more helpful.
Testimonial 5
Having used JDG previously, when Mum passed away we decided to use them to sell the family home. From the very start, Michelle was sympathetic and went above and beyond in talking with the family and discussing our circumstances. The whole sales team was great, informing us of what the stages were and advising us of booked viewings. Feedback was always forthcoming and when we had a buyer, the negotiation process was slick and painless.

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.
