The checklist

Before you make an offer

Check
Ground: shrink-swell clay (subsidence) significant, soluble rock (sinkholes) significantBGS rates the wider 5 km area for these; it describes the area, not the plot. Mention it to your surveyor, especially for an older home or big trees near the house.
Check
Slow broadband likelyOnly 0% of premises can get superfast broadband (Ofcom).
Note
Radon: up to 3–5% of homes above the action levelThis 1 km square includes a radon affected area. Ask whether the home has been tested; a three-month test is simple and cheap, and only a test shows a home's level (UKHSA/BGS).
Note
Conservation area: Harleyford and WittingtonChanges to the outside and work on trees usually need consent. Ask whether past alterations had permission.
Note
Article 4 directionSome work normally allowed without planning permission needs it here (Former Wycombe Rural District - Poultry Production).
Clear
No coal mining riskOutside the Coal Authority's coalfield.
Clear
No river or sea flood risk recordedNot in the Environment Agency's high or medium risk areas. Surface water isn't included: check the exact address on GOV.UK.
