Read this before relying on these figures. Northern Ireland's own flood maps are not published under an open licence, so the band above is modelled, not DfI's official mapping. The model is undefended — it does not account for flood defences, so a defended town can read as more exposed than DfI's own map shows — and it covers rivers only. For a property-level answer, use Flood Maps NI.
What Does Limavady's Flood Risk Classification Mean?

Which Postcode Districts Cover Limavady?
Each district below is one postcode district that falls inside Limavady. The band is the one shared by most of that district's postcodes, so it describes the district rather than a single street — enter a full postcode in the checker for one address. A district can cover more than one town: every district here overlaps another place, so the checker may name a neighbouring town for some of these postcodes.
| Postcode district | Postcodes here | Rivers and sea band | Surface water addresses |
|---|---|---|---|
| BT49 | 248 | Not mapped — no rivers-and-sea band covers this district | not published for this district |
"Not mapped" is not "no risk". It means no rivers-and-sea band covers that district in the source — surface water can still flood it, and both Camden and Islington flooded from surface water in July 2021 while carrying no mapped rivers-and-sea band.
