Hi,

45 Point Allerton was my listing and I sold that property. You asked a simple question, which has a complicated answer. At the time of that sale, FEMA had produced new maps of Hull and they were not final versions. As is often the case in many parts of Hull, a property can be in more than one zone!! The borders of the property may be in a flood zone, but the structure may not be, or may be in a less risky zone. On this property, the draft maps showed the house to be in the new "Zone X," while the edge of the property may have been in a flood zone and/or a High Velocity Zone. Flood zones effect insurance and the ability to build or expand property. Buyers in Hull should consult with the Conservation Commission, the Building Department, their insurance agent (and of course, their attorney) when buying coastal property.

Any house can have flood insurance. Some are required but all are recommended. If you are not in a flood zone then the rate is very low. Homeowners policies don't cover flood and floods can happen anywhere and I mean anywhere.

Hi Cindy- If you already have a good insurance agent, you can probably just call them and give them this address, and they can do the search for you and tell for sure if FLOOD is required. Thanks and good luck,

According to the disclosure field in the MLS when the property was for sale, "On new FEMA Draft Flood Maps property is new "Zone X" Flood Ins./FEMA foundation MAY not be required."
