Original: New UK homes in flood-risk areas could become uninsurable, says Aviva boss https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/sep
Aviva chief executive Amanda Blanc has warned that new homes built in UK flood-risk areas could become uninsurable. Her comments put pressure on government planning policy ahead of the budget, raising concerns that buyers in vulnerable locations may struggle to get cover and that climate risk is increasingly shaping the housing and insurance markets.
Why now: The warning comes ahead of the UK budget and amid rising concern about climate-driven flood risk to housing.
