Flood risk in Ireland, checked for the exact house.

Two free ways: enter the property’s Eircode on PropertyPack.ie for address-level flood data as part of its official checks, or search the address on the OPW’s floodinfo.ie flood maps, which show river, coastal and surface-water flood extents plus recorded past flood events across Ireland.

Four steps: search the address on the OPW’s floodinfo.ie flood maps for flood extents and recorded past flood events; ask the seller directly whether the property has ever flooded or had a flood-related insurance claim; get a home-insurance quote before going sale agreed, because insurers apply their own flood models on top of the public maps; and run the Eircode through a PropertyPack report, which reads the OPW layers for the address as one of its official checks.

Ireland has both fluvial and coastal flood risk factors. The Lee river system and the county's coastline create flood-prone zones, particularly in low-lying areas near Ireland City. The OPW's floodinfo.ie maps show specific flood zones A and B for every area.

You can check flood risk for any property in Ireland by entering its Eircode on PropertyPack.ie. Our report cross-references the OPW flood maps, CFRAM study data, and historical flood event records to give you a comprehensive flood risk assessment.

Properties within OPW flood zones in Ireland may face higher insurance premiums or difficulty obtaining cover. Insurers reference flood mapping data when assessing risk. If your property in Ireland City or elsewhere in Ireland is in a known flood zone, it is important to disclose this and shop around for quotes.

Ireland has experienced major flood events in 2009, 2015-16, and subsequent years. Coastal areas of Ireland have been affected by storm surges, while river flooding along the Lee has impacted homes and businesses. The OPW has invested in flood defence schemes in the worst-affected areas.

Enter the property's Eircode on PropertyPack.ie. Your report covers flood zone mapping and historical flooding data along with the rest of its 18 official checks. Reports use official government data, and the free snapshot is ready in about a minute.

You can, and the report reads the same OPW layers. The difference is that the report reads them for the exact Eircode, adds recorded past floods within 250 m and the coastal check, and puts the answer beside the other 17 checks a buyer needs, in one PDF you can hand to your solicitor or insurer.

No. It is a desk check of official data for the address, ready in minutes, not an inspection of the building. A surveyor is a different job for a later stage; the report tells you whether the house is worth paying one for.

No. Enter the Eircode, get the free snapshot in about a minute, and pay €29 for the full report as a guest. If you are checking several houses, a pack of 3 reports costs €59 with a free account.
