In
retrospect, we should have got a bridging loan and taken more time, but
it's easy to say that now.

And perhaps looked at the OS map for the area and compared the height of
your property with the height of the river? But as you say, hindsight is
a wonderful thing.


And I guess 7 years ago there was not quite so much awareness of the
building on flood plain /flooding issues anyway.

Our new (almost anyway) house down south is on a hill, though it is
Cambridgeshire hill so about 10m above sea level :-), so maybe an island
in 50 years :-)
