The checklist

Before you make an offer

Check
Radon: up to 10–30% 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).
Check
Ground: shrink-swell clay (subsidence) moderate, 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.
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.
Clear
Quiet by WHO standardsRoad traffic about 52 dB (24-hour average), under the WHO guideline of 53.
Clear
