A load of houses were built on a flood plain near us. After a few years it was obvious that most were sinking as the ground was not stable. A couple were demolished, but the others had concrete "rafts" built under then.
Despite flood defences being erected several years earlier, they cannot be insured against flooding due to "historic floods". Our home is the same behind a 3-metre dyke, and no floods since the early 60s.
