People need to stop blaming others and take responsibility for their actions. If I was going to make a large investment then I would look at the area and get an Environment Agency flood report. Thats because I am smart :smug:
And then buy a house 30 yards from the fecking River Trent :doh:

Not always as obvious as that though is it, I know of houses that are built in a field over a pound I used to play in as a child, only people who grew up in that area would know that kind of information. One should be able to trust planning departments
In the same village I know of houses that will flood about every 50 years or so, they are not on a flood plain, only local knowledge will inform them of such things.
There are many more ways to get flooded, Surface water flooding which occurs when heavy rainfall overwhelms the drainage capacity of the local area. It is difficult to predict and pinpoint
Groundwater flooding that occurs when water levels in the ground rise above surface levels.
Sometimes only local knowledge will do, and official flood maps can let you down
