Real estate that was recently flooded is still being sold, say real estate agents - how to check if an address is at risk of flooding.

Recent floods in northern France have led to real estate buyers being advised to carefully assess the risk of natural disasters before making a purchase. One housing development in the Pas-de-Calais department has made headlines on television because construction work is ongoing on new properties next to flooded homes.

According to recent data from January 2023, there are 16,000 municipalities in France with at least one flood zone, which can be identified using the national flood risk atlas. You can also use the local flood risk search by entering your property address on the homepage of the website.

Despite this, real estate agents report that in some coastal communities that recently faced flooding, the affected homes are still being sold for very high prices.
