Can I still sell my house if it's in a flood risk area?

Many buyers are concerned about buying a property that is in a high-risk flood area, but this doesn't mean you can't sell your home.

Selling a property in a known flood-risk area can be difficult. Many are concerned about investing in a property where they may struggle to get a mortgage or sufficient home insurance because it's deemed to be too high-risk.

It's also a possibility that insurance may carry a high premium to compensate for the property's location.

What can you do to prepare against flooding?

Preparing for a flood is key. If you know you live in a high-risk area then there are a few things you can do to protect yourself, your possessions and your property:

  • Sign up for free flood warnings via phone, email or text 

  • Make sure you’re aware of what to do if a flood occurs – turn off amenities, move family and pets to safety, pack a bag with clothes, medicine, and important documentation

  • Have the correct insurance in place

  • Get specialists to make changes to your property that will withstand any future flooding – tiles instead of carpets, plug sockets higher up the wall, flood barriers and non-return valves
