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
Robert was knowledgeable and competent in his evaluation of my property. The service received from the team in-branch was always courteous. Communications throughout were clear and as promised (i.e. they would contact you when they said they would). Would highly recommend their services.
Testimonial 2
I approached Robert Arnold of Thomas Morris, Royston in December 2019 to sell our house and from the outset, found him ultra professional, friendly, helpful and responsive to queries and problems. We had a lot of potential buyers view our house in December and January and we had sold it subject to contract within a very few weeks.
Testimonial 3
What a splendid service.
Very professional at every point of contact and excellent at keeping us up to date at all times.
Robert has been especially impressive. A true credit to estate agents, doing much to balm the wounds of their terrible reputation as people. Hopefully we shall not need his services for many years, but should the need arise, I know he will answer the call.

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.
