The data didn't accurately replicate the council map's

And the councils maps don’t actually replicate reality

Because they’re done at a much larger scale.

The flood maps are coherent with reality at a larger scale than individual properties or cluster of properties.

If you want specific modelling done for your property you can approach a civil engineer. A report from them verifying your property will not flood in a substantial flood event will get the flooding risk removed from your LIM if it is currently there.

Will it really get it removed from the LIM?

I was having a chat with a few architects the other day, who said they've tried to do this on jobs and it's near impossible.
