Doncaster's property damage profile is shaped by its position in the Don valley, its flood history, and its diverse housing stock. The city was severely flooded in 2007 when the Don burst its banks, affecting thousands of properties.
Doncaster's 2007 floods demonstrated the scale of the Don valley flood risk. Many properties have been flooded multiple times, and insurers increasingly apply flood exclusions. The Victorian terraced housing in Balby, Hexthorpe, and Wheatley faces regular escape of water claims.
A Hexthorpe property was flooded when the Don burst its banks. The insurer had applied a flood exclusion after a previous flood, leaving the owner without cover.
A burst pipe in a Balby Victorian terrace caused ground floor damage. The insurer accepted the claim but disputed the extent of damage.
Don valley flood risk — severe flooding in 2007. Many properties have been flooded multiple times. Victorian infrastructure is ageing.
Flood Re may be an option for eligible properties. Many Doncaster Victorian terraces qualify. A specialist insurance broker can advise on Flood Re eligibility.
If your policy covers flood and the flooding was caused by the Don bursting its banks, the claim should be covered. However, if the property is in a known flood risk area, the insurer may have applied a flood exclusion.
