There are a reported 300,000 home owners
including residential and business owners who have been
flooded in recent years and are now facing major issues
obtaining insurance.
Areas most affected are Cumbria, Northumberland, Worcester,
Lancashire, Oxford, Nottinghamshire, Staffordshire, some
parts of Kent, Surrey, Fyfe, County Antrim, Dorset and
Cornwall to name but a few.
It is additionally estimated that several million clients will
fall foul of the revised Environment Agency flood mapping, so
that although they have not been flooded in the past the postcodes they
reside in now will considered to be exclusion zones, and for no
fault of their own will also face issues obtaining affordable
property
insurance. In a majority of cases they will not be able to
obtain cover at all. The flood insurance quote facility on
the left covers risks in the UK and
Northern Ireland |
