Corporate report from the Environment Agency titled 'Flood and coastal erosion risk management report: 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025', updated 19 September 2025.

The Environment Agency have now confirmed that an estimated 3200 properties were flooded in England in the 12 months to March 2025. (This figure only applies to major events, as they do not collate data for all incidents)

Their previous annual reports clearly no show no worsening trend, despite their annual extreme weather propaganda.

Laughably, they still pretend that more than 7 million properties are at risk of flooding:

One interesting piece of information is that only 3500 properties are at risk of coastal erosion by 2055.

I realise this is not a nice problem to face for those who live there, but the number really is tiny on the overall view of things, given some of the hysterical reporting in the media.

If you put a cost of £500,000 per property, you could replace the lot for £1.75 billion, which over 30 years is probably a lot less than is being spent to protect them.

NOTE

Most of the historical data in my chart comes from EA annual reports since 2011/12. Earlier data was sent to me by the EA by email, and obviously needs treating with care, as its accuracy is dubious, (not least the year 2000 figures, which appear extremely low).
