Hi there and thanks all for your replies on this .... After further pressure they have now pushed back and said that actually its not flood risk but that the area and postcode are flagging up as high risk for subsidence. We got several quotes from other insurers' and the message is the same that there is an issue flagging up on the postcode. Just now I've pushed back the story has changed as to why. Its not a lot of money but for me there has to be a decent reason if you want to increase premiums by 25% They now say that there are a lot claims flagging up in the area on subsidence and that by association we are at risk too and hence the increase.

Hi there We just got our buildings insurance quote and it is increased 25% - the feedback from the broker being that the post code has been updated for flood risk. We are in Adys Road (SE15) and it seems to me something really extreme would have to happen for us to flood here. I've only lived in the area for about 10 years but I'm not aware there has ever been any flood issues here. Has anyone experienced the same and or does anyone know if this area has ever flooded or where I can get this information from? thank you and again
