According to the UK Government's Public Health England, some parts of Alton, including streets such as Lanten Street and Lower Turk Street, are in a raised radon area, with properties built there having a higher probability than average of experiencing ground Radon emissions. The raised Radon area has a maximum radon potential of 5 - 10 % (the percentage is the chance of a property being built where Radon emissions might measure above the action level). If you are concerned that a property you are buying is in an area of raised Radon, please click to visit Public Health England's UK Radon Map.

Properties sometimes have issues with ground stability in certain locations in Alton. In a recent environmental search, taken out for a property in Blacknest Road, Blacknest, Alton, Hampshire,GU34 4PZ, the report noted that there was a moderate potential for natural ground instability within 50m of the property. This should not be taken to mean that the property in question actually suffered/suffers from subsidence however as "active subsidence will be dependent on local conditions, such as the proximity of trees or areas where trees have been removed, which require an inspection of the site to identify the nature of the ground on which the property is built."
