Does GL13 9FB flood?

Up to High likelihood

Properties in GL13 9FB sit in the Environment Agency's High 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.

Likelihood bandAnnual chancePropertiesOf which homes
Highgreater than 3.3%10
Medium1% – 3.3%70
Low0.1% – 1%420
Very lowbelow 0.1%40

Over a 25-year mortgage, a property in a high-likelihood area has at least a 57% chance of flooding at least once.
