A flood-risk rating on its own does not tell you whether a specific property is flood prone. It tells you about the suburb as a whole. Always request a Section 10.7 certificate from City of Sydney Council before exchange, as it will disclose any specific flood or overland flow constraints on the property title. Insurers also use postcode-level flood data when pricing premiums, so even low-risk suburbs can attract higher excess in certain streets.
