The checklist

Before you make an offer

Check
Radon: up to 5–10% 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
On a coalfieldA coal mining search is usual here, though this spot is outside the high-risk area (Coal Authority).
Note
Ground: shrink-swell clay (subsidence) moderate, landslides moderateBGS 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.
Note
Noise above WHO guidelines: road 54 dB24-hour averages from Defra's 2022 noise maps (England). Visit at rush hour and at night.
Clear
