A kind of update
Yesterday, our 6th and 7th viewers came along to see our house. Our 6th viewer, who shall be known as Conservatory Man because he wants to build a conservatory in our beloved garden that we put so much work into - whaaaat?! no! - put in an offer. We hyperventilated in shock for a while, but Conservatory Man's offer was lower than we wanted, so we have spent all day today jittering and wondering if he will reply to our request to meet us halfway.
Finally, the estate agent rang, to tell us that Consevatory Man is now in two minds because someone told him our house is in an area which might get flooded. Agh! The estate agent has sold many houses in this area, and it's never been a problem before, but of course we have to get the one person who worries about this kind of thing. Agh!
The case continues...

Ah there's an environment one. Plus the requirement to have an environment check on property purchases these days.
According to that website, practically every house in the UK is liable to get flooded. As the flat I was going to buy in London (hello - middle of London miles from the Thames). This house too, even though its a good distance and uphill from a river. Oh yes, I forgot we live within 50 metres of some brook. So small its about 1/4 metre wide.
Keep us updated.

You are joking?!! I agree with Alison that we are all liable to get flooded.
The buyers for my house had their environment searches done and it showed up that house could get flooded but it hasnt done so for many years. sooooo!!
Anyways I have a moving date now!!! 1 June -eeekk!
