The excellent OnOneMap property search site has added a UK flood data layer.

Just click on the flood risk checkbox and a layer of blue will appear, showing exactly where the flood risk areas are. It couldn’t be easier and while the data comes from the UK Environment Agency where you can also find a flood risk map of sorts, the OnOneMap interpretation makes this information vastly more accessible and usable than ever before.

Hats off to the people at OnOneMap (and Google), this is how it should be done.
