My PPR is within 200m of a river that has flooded in the past. However, the OPW has spent millions on flood defence works over the last decade and these completed works now afford protection to the national standard of a combined 1:200 year coastal and fluvial event for inter-tidal areas, and makes allowance for global warming to the year 2100.
Notwithstanding these works, so far I have found it impossible to get any Irish insurer to quote for flood cover. I did manage to get cover from a UK underwriter but it costs a small fortune.
Has anybody had any joy with Irish insurers in similar circumstances?
