PRA SS5/25 REGULATORY ALIGNMENT

Compliance-ready data

Meet PRA SS5/25 and SS1/23 requirements with data that maps to every obligation, so you can close your June 2026 compliance gap without a custom build.

Property-level scoring

Risk assessed per UPRN across ~40M properties, not by postcode or flood zone, so every SS5/25 submission reflects actual property exposure.

Multi-source flood coverage

Rivers and sea, surface water, and coastal risk modelled independently in a single response, satisfying the requirement for multiple flood source assessment.

Forward climate projections

2050 and 2080 scenarios under RCP 4.5 and 8.5 with depth and frequency data so you can demonstrate long-term climate risk assessment to regulators.

Depth and severity metrics

Depth bands, velocity, and hazard scores returned per flood source and per property, going well beyond the binary zone codes SS5/25 considers insufficient.

Confidence scoring

Every response includes a 1–10 confidence score so you can quantify model uncertainty at each location and meet SS5/25 data quality disclosure requirements.

Stress scenario coverage

Pre-built severe-but-plausible stress sets ready for ICAAP submissions and regulatory disclosure without needing a separate data source or custom build.

Transparent data sourcing

Every data layer attributed to its government source (Environment Agency, SEPA, and Natural Resources Wales) with full documentation for audit purposes.

Full model governance

Complete methodology documentation, auditable data pipeline, and zero black-box components to satisfy SS1/23 model risk management requirements.

HOW IT WORKS

Flood exposure in one call.

Property-level flood exposure with metrics you can plug straight into lending, insurance, or location products.

01

Present-day risk

Depth, velocity and hazard metrics so you see more than a simple zone code for each property or location.

Depth and velocity bands

Depth and velocity bands

Return clear depth and velocity bands for each property so you can see how high and how fast water is expected to move.

Hazard scores you can act on

Hazard scores you can act on

Use standardised hazard scores that reflect danger to people and buildings so you can distinguish nuisance events from serious risk.

Present-day flood risk
02

Future climate scenarios

Understand how each location's flood risk profile shifts under 2080 climate scenarios and longer term climate assumptions.

2080 climate scenarios

2080 climate scenarios

Get present-day metrics alongside 2080 climate-adjusted scenarios so you can see how flood risk is expected to shift over time.

Long-term asset view

Long-term asset view

Evaluate long-lived assets, mortgage books and infrastructure against both today's exposure and future climate pathways in a single response.

Present-day flood risk
03

Historic flooding

Bring decades of historic flood events into a single, consistent view so you can see where flooding has actually occurred.

Historic flood outlines

Historic flood outlines

Access more than 50,000 historic flood outlines dating back to 1946 so you can see where flooding has actually occurred.

Proximity to past events

Proximity to past events

Check how close each property sits to previous flood extents to support eligibility rules, due diligence and site screening.

Historic flood data
04

Reservoir and extreme scenarios

Add reservoir breach and other low probability, high impact scenarios when you need to extend analysis beyond everyday flood conditions.

Reservoir breach scenarios

Reservoir breach scenarios

Include dry day, wet day and fluvial reservoir breach scenarios using the same fields as everyday risk for easier analysis.

Low probability, high impact

Low probability, high impact

Model rare but severe flood events for stress tests, regulatory reporting and edge case handling without a separate data source.

Reservoir breach risk
05

Query options

Work with the addresses, identifiers and geometry that already power your stack so flood data fits cleanly into existing workflows.

Flexible query inputs

Flexible query inputs

Query by address, UPRN, postcode, coordinate, bounding box or polygon so flood data fits the identifiers you already use.

Aligned with your maps

Aligned with your maps

Receive results indexed in WGS84 with filters for band, source and scenario so responses line up cleanly with your maps and workflows.

Query data
Use cases

Flood risk intelligence in action

See how insurers, lenders and asset owners use property‑level flood data to price risk, protect portfolios and plan resilient assets.

01

Mortgage origination

Query by UPRN at application, receive risk band and flood depth instantly, and flag high-risk collateral before underwriting begins.

02

Portfolio risk management

Score your entire book at property level and stress-test under 2°C and 4°C climate scenarios for regulatory and board reporting.

03

Insurance underwriting

Replace postcode banding with UPRN-precise scores at point of quote to price more accurately and reduce adverse selection.

04

Planning integration

Assess flood exposure by UPRN or coordinate before consent is granted, integrated into existing planning workflows via API or bulk file.

05

TCFD and regulatory disclosure

Property-level physical risk data for TCFD, PRA SS5/25, and EBA reporting, with climate scenarios and model governance documentation included.

Datasets

Other datasets, same integration

Use the same API key to turn on additional datasets whenever you need them, from risk and environment to geography and market context.

Planning intelligence

Work with structured planning applications, documents, and policies to analyse development activity and decisions at scale.

Address lookup

Resolve any UK address to a verified UPRN, coordinates, and administrative geography in a single call.

Coastal erosion

Property-level erosion scores, encroachment timelines, and coastal defence intelligence for every UK coastal address.

Answers before you integrate

>

What flood sources are covered?

We model three independent flood sources: rivers and sea (fluvial), surface water (pluvial), and coastal inundation. Each is scored separately so you can assess compound risk or isolate exposure by source. Critical for underwriting and portfolio triage.

How granular is the data?

Where does the data come from?

How often is the data updated?

Does this support PRA SS5/25 requirements?

Can I access bulk data for portfolio scoring?
