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

We bought our first place through Martin & Co Southend. Thank you Charlotte for your help liaising with the seller and the solicitors so things moved fast in the end and we were able to make it before our mortgage offer expires. Martin & Co agents have been very helpful and responsive.
The service was professional and the staff well-informed. We received regular updates as to the progress of the mortgage and both Leanne and Rhiannon were always at the end of the phone and prompt to respond to our e-mails.
Martin and Co Southend are a fantastic agent. Always respond quickly with any issues, and I've always been very happy with the standard of tenant they have found for me. Laura, Rhiannon, Gaynor and Harry have all been first class
I've just completed on a property with Martin and Co. Charlotte and the team have been very helpful from start to finish. Charlotte guided me through the process step by step and facilitated all of my questions and requests promptly. The team were accommodating with viewings as I needed to view the property several times. All in all I'm very pleased with their service and professionalism.
Thank you to Charlotte for being there every step of the way on our purchase. Charlotte was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable & friendly to chat to. It wasn’t made easy by our 3rd party conveyancer, but Charlotte was there to help & push things through. Highly recommend Charlotte & Martin & Co, would not shy away from using either again in future!
Thanks for the help in my purchase of a great property. Really happy to be in my new home. Charlotte was excellent in making it a smooth process. Would 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.
