Floods are obviously extremely damaging to property and can cost homeowners tens of thousands if they are not correctly insured A Star Property Group recommend checking your Buildings Insurance and/or Landlords Insurance policy to make sure you have the correct level of cover and the insurer is aware of the property specifics.

We also regularly advise clients on some flood resilience measures that can be adopted by property

owners to minimise damage should their property flood in the future.

flood risk to houses in Doncatser.

Previously the government and local council have provided a number of schemes to improve the flood resilience and reduce damage to homes and property across Doncaster and South Yorkshire - its always worth having a conversation with them if you are worried your house could be at risk of flooding.
