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.

About Roberts & Co
Roberts & Co are an award-winning, independent estate agent in Preston and South Ribble. We've been successfully selling and renting property for many years in your local area and our experienced and dedicated team all have one thing in common... we are passionate about property.

We like to think that our approach to property is a little different. Our all-inclusive marketing comes as standard for every property we sell. We understand what features buyers need and expect to see when searching for their new home. That's why professional photography, floorplans, virtual tours and social media are all included for our listings. Our experienced, knowledgeable team will guide you every step of the way from photography to liaising with solicitors to smooth out the process after you agree a sale.
Who are Roberts & Co?
Roberts & Co was founded in 2012 by Emma Roberts. Initially focused solely on Lettings, the company soon progressed into Property Sales in 2014. Coming from a financial services background it was important to Emma that the company held values based on meeting customers needs and exceeding customer expectations. Our company values are Communication, Expertise, Transparency, Innovation and Community.

Our Penwortham Branch has been at the heart of the community for 10 years now selling and letting property for the people of Penwortham, Preston and beyond. Branch Manager Julie Duerden has worked in estate agency for many years and has an incredible wealth of knowledge and experience in her branch team. All of the branch team live within a short distance of Penwortham, many in Penwortham itself. Their knowledge on schools, transport links and amenities is second to none.
Testimonial 1
I would just like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff at the Lostock Hall branch for all the hard work you have done to make my sale as stress free as it possibly could have been. I would like to give a special mention to Sharon, as she has been absolutely brilliant the last couple of months with my sale with the constant communication and updates we have received from her, regardless of the hour in the day.
Testimonial 2
We’ve now been in our lovely home for a whole two years and so this is slightly overdue! Roberts and Co were wonderful during the entire process of our sale and purchase; we cannot recommend them highly enough. Emma, Will and their whole team showed absolute professionalism, going over and above to ensure that we were kept informed every step of the way. Buying and selling houses is obviously a very intense process, but Roberts and Co looked after us.
Testimonial 3
The service we have had from Roberts was far superior to any experiences I've had with your competitors. We have been kept in the loop with every viewing and have been given every bit of feedback from the viewing. Speaking of the viewings, you provided us with 5 viewings in a week where the other estate agent advertising the house had given me just the 1 viewing (and provided me no feedback afterwards).
Testimonial 4
We have been under the care of Roberts & Co for a few years now as letting agents and more recently for the sale of a property. It's difficult to articulate correctly the level of service, support and professionalism that they provide which is second to none. Using a simple rule of thumb I can't recall ever having to contact them to chase a position or query as they always get there first and their balance between professional and friendly is perfect.
Testimonial 5
We have both bought and sold a property with Roberts and the team helped us through every step of the way. The photography and floor plan of the property definitely helped us secure a quick sale. Wouldn’t think to work with anyone else in the future!
Testimonial 6
Really pleased I chose Roberts & Co to sell my parent’s house in Penwortham. I was kept well informed throughout the whole process and found them to be very efficient, helpful, professional and pleasant to deal with. The house was incredibly well marketed in both branches and sold within in a few weeks. I got the right feeling from them straight away and their enthusiasm and genuine commitment to sell the property shone through.
Roberts & Co are committed to comprehensive property data being made available up-front to make the home buying and selling process quicker, easier & cheaper. This is why we have partnered with Sprift - the UK’s leading supplier of property-specific data.

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.
