Builders are building houses not that far away from me on land which always floods when the river Severn floods or when a nearby brook overflows. The road leading into the estate is even named after the brook.

Although where I live is close to a flood risk area, I'm not in that area.

Strange they can get away with it?

The locals are fighting the decision, but these companies seem to wield a great deal of power with local authorities.

Money talks I suppose EC 

I wouldn't knowingly buy one on a flood plain , but I guess it depends on how desperate for a house I was....

They've just built a lot of houses near us on a field that was under water in the last floods 

I've always wanted to live on York

Now i realise most places there cannot get insurance

Any choice in York would have to be carefully considered

Not knowingly 

Only if it was a houseboat
