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
Richard was brilliant with the whole experience - from negotiating the price right through to exchange. He kept me in the loop with where we were at all times and went out of his way to update me when other agents had finished for the day and at the weekends - would definitely recommend.
Testimonial 2
Dan and Katrina were absolutely excellent. As first time buyers, we were complete novices but Dan, from the offset, was helpful, efficient and supportive. Dan and Katrina were always quick to reply to our many emails and messages and offered sound advice. You often hear that estate agents will be on the side of the seller, but definitely not the case here. Dan was always fair and quick to try to assist us in anyway he could.
Testimonial 3
The agency UK is a remarkable company they are efficient, reliable and trustworthy. we acquired our first property through them they have been there for us from start to finish.
Testimonial 4
Tom Bailey was amazing to work with! He was always there to answer our questions and made everything so much easier. He really cared about helping us get over the line with our purchase. I couldn’t recommend Tom more if you need a friendly and reliable estate agent.
Testimonial 5
Tony Wood is in one word Brilliant as an estate agent. We needed to sell my Dad’s house which had not been lived in for 18 months. Tony had proactively posted a letter through the door describing his estate agent credentials. Having not bought or sold a house in over 20 years we had the old image of an estate agent. Tony dispelled all the cliches, he is a fantastic professional with a real understanding of buyers and sellers needs.
Testimonial 6
Amazing and efficient service, especially for first time buyers. Dawn Taylor has been amazing and helped us every step of the way, if there was anything confusing throughout the process, she was always there to help and acted as a great line of contact between us and the vendors. We 100% recommend Dawn to anyone who wants professional and efficient service! If it wasn't for her help we wouldn't have got our dream home! Thank you so much Dawn.

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.
