for Homebuyers, Homeowners, and Professionals

At FloodInsight, we help individuals and professionals understand flood risk. Whether you're buying a new home, already living in a house marked as being at risk, considering a planning application or just trying to understand flood risk data, we guide you through the complexity so you can make informed decisions without confusion or pressure.

We offer:

• Advice for homebuyers where flood risk has been flagged during the purchase process

• Support for homeowners facing real or perceived flood risks—offering insight on causes, responsibilities, and high-level options

• Technical guidance for professionals (e.g. solicitors, architects, planners, developers) advice to help you or your clients navigate the National Planning Policy Framework

Who you will work with:

When you engage FloodInsight, you’ll be working directly with a senior flood risk professional with over 20 years of experience in the UK flood and drainage sector, including:

• Flood Risk Assessments (FRAs) and Strategic Flood Risk Assessments

• Hydological studies

• Hydraulic calculations and flood risk modelling and risk mapping (fluvial, surface water, coastal)

You will speak with someone who has real-world project experience and a clear understanding of flood risk, flood data and the regulatory framework.
