Sally Breeze says her home in Rotherham has flooded three times in 25 years.
A mother whose house has been flooded three times in 25 years has said she now cannot afford to insure her home.
The 56-year-old said she felt "physically sick" when she found out her home insurance would almost double to more than £1,000."I can't , something will have to give. I'm having to pay the price for something that was not my fault," she said. "It's just devastating," she told BBC Radio Sheffield, adding she now lived in constant fear of the flooding happening again.
"I'm not going to be able to sell it, nobody in their right mind would want to buy a property down there."An AXA spokesperson said a "number of factors" had led to the higher premium "including her recent claims and increased flood risk in the area".
