In the past, many people living in properties in high flood-risk areas or that have previously flooded have had difficulty getting home insurance.

But not everyone can benefit from the scheme and if you’re not eligible and the property is in a high-risk flood area, premiums can be significantly higher and you may also have fewer insurers to choose from. Find more information in our guide Buying a House in a Flood Zone Explained.
