Flood risk exposure of mortgages in England
Why this matters
The document is an FCA analytical report on flood risk exposure of regulated mortgage lending, using Environment Agency flood data mapped to mortgage postcodes. It covers regional exposure, LTV ratios and deprivation, so the sector is Mortgage & Lending and the topic is climate-related physical risk (ESG / Sustainability). The firm types are inferred from who originates mortgages (banks and credit unions), since the text names no specific firm types. Urgency is null because the report carries no obligation or deadline.
