New UK homes in flood-risk areas could become uninsurable, says Aviva boss
Aviva chief executive Amanda Blanc warned that the growing risk of flooding could render newly built homes in flood‑prone areas uninsurable. She said the threat is rising sharply and urged the UK government to act, criticizing ministers for what she called “kite‑flying” ahead of the upcoming budget. The insurer highlighted potential financial impacts on homeowners and the property market.
