Snippets about the floods

[bigpaul]

I just do not understand, and I am NOT having a go at anyone here, anyone who buys a house on a flood plain, below sea level or near a river, lots of these houses at Kingsand in Cornwall, also Looe in Cornwall and on the Levels(all areas I personally know well) are sometimes bought by "incomers" I suppose they have the excuse that they don't know the area but wouldn't we all do our homework first and find out before buying?? we were offered several properties before we decided to move to our present home, 1 had a large storm drain in the back garden, 1 was 1 street back from the coast, another had no parking and was next to the local primary school, probably some one else would have taken them all but they were not right for us. I suppose non preppers wouldn't see anything wrong with any of these properties but I was looking at them with my prepping hat on and they just weren't right, I say if a property isn't right then its wrong, there is no grey area...not for us anyway.
