Does DY10 1HA flood?

Kidderminster, Worcestershire

Up to Low likelihood

Properties in DY10 1HA sit in the Environment Agency's Low flood-likelihood band (worst property). The band is the worst found in the postcode — it describes the land around properties (defence-adjusted, rivers & sea), not any single address, and not today's conditions.

Highgreater than 3.3%00

Low0.1% – 1%80
Very lowbelow 0.1%10

Over a 25-year mortgage, a property in a low-likelihood area has a 2–22% chance of flooding at least once.
