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
We dealt with David from Martin and Co, when we were buying our family home during this pandemic. Despite David representing the seller and not us, we were impressed with David's efficiency, politeness and understanding of people. I feel with David's help, the purchase went much smoother and the process was much quicker than we expected. David is very professional and prompt in dealing with any query you have.
Testimonial 2
Happy to vouch for Martin & Co as both Sales and Lettings. Managed the renting of my property very well. David and the rest of his team were always available and quick to respond. Would definitely highly recommend. Personalized property portal for managing the rental very efficient. Same applies to sales.
Testimonial 3
We had a fantastic experience with Martin & Co in Tunbridge Wells. We were impressed by their reasonable rates, quick responses and the efforts which they went to in marketing our property – the 360 degree photo tour which they created was fantastic. A huge bonus for us is that Martin & Co don’t try to sell financial products, which means that their only motivation is to sell the property to the best buyer. A big thank you to David for all your hard work.

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.
