Properties in Basingstoke which are built close to the River Loddon and its tributaries and channels, such as in Basing Road, are subject to flood warnings and alerts from time to time. If you are concerned that a property you are looking to buy is in a flood risk area, you should consider getting a flood risk report (click for more details). |
According to the UK Government's Public Health England, an area to the northeast of Basingstoke, including streets such as Pyotts Hill and Hopton Garth, is 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 1 – 3% (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.

Getting a RICS home buyers survey when you are looking to buy a property in Basingstoke is a great way of getting a professional's opinion on whether the chimney stack, for example, is likely to need repairs done in the near future. A recent building survey carried out on a property in Elizabeth Road, for example, noted the following about its chimney stack: "The stack is in satisfactory condition but the mortar joints are weathered and will need repointing in the next few years. No major defects were noted from a ground level inspection. As the stack is shared with adjoining property, it would be prudent if any repairs are carried out to the whole stack rather than just the part owned by each property as the cost of the scaffolding could be shared." |
