I have no idea what a 10/10 flood factor even means here.
(If you click on the map view and select flood factor you'll see the high risk of flood is all on the northern part of the parcel away from the house - obviously I'd look into it more closely but it appears a 10/10 rating tells us nothing about the chances of the house itself being flooded)
My question exactly. If it means that part of this property - the unbuilt land near the creek - is guaranteed to flood I wouldn't be bothered. But if it means the basement floods, then absolutely not.
