This is a scary article outlining how the government are going to stop supporting the insurance industry in insuring homes in flood plains from next year meaning many people could be left without insurance, and with no insurance, no realistic chance of selling their homes. Or at least not for market value. Surely the government and insurance companies will have to find a compromise?
