Flood Re is a joint initiative between the government and the insurance industry that exists to promote the affordability and availability of flood insurance for homes across the UK. The firm’s operation promotes a competitive insurance market that customers can take advantage of.
Flood Re does not set consumer prices – this remains a decision for insurers to make. Insurers can place the flood risk element of domestic property insurance with Flood Re at a premium linked to property council tax bands. Flood Re sits in the background, with the purchase of the policy and the process of making a claim unchanged.
As of April 2022, Flood Re has launched the “Build Back Better” program, which is designed to reduce the cost and impact of future floods by including property resilience measures as part of flood repairs.

Underscoring the value proposition the firm offers, Vincent says, “Our clients get direct access to our partners. We are always available, and we pride ourselves on being highly responsive. We are lean and efficient. Our work is of the quality of larger law firms, without the price tag.”
To operate optimally for clients, the firm engaged the founder of a major construction management company to be chairman. Under their guidance, Vincent Young has expanded its practice areas to include property, projects, commercial and insolvency law. Today, Vincent Young is advised by a chairman and two advisors, none of whom are lawyers, resulting in invaluable industry insight and client-side perspective.
“The balance between technical legal skills and proactive solutions lies at the heart of our business and our success in legal matters,” says Vincent. “We believe in handling our clients’ matters as if they were our own, and with this approach, we seek solutions wherever possible.”
