According to the UK Government's Public Health England, an area to the west of Farnham Common, in streets such as Hawthorn Lane and Crow Piece Lane, 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.

A recent Environmental Search for a property in Kennedy Close, Farnham Common, Slough, SL2 3NB, stated that the dwelling was within 50m of an area with potential for natural ground instability. The British Geological Survey has assessed the area of search as having moderate potential for natural ground instability. This does not necessarily mean there is cause for concern in terms of the property's stability. 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. A house buyers survey is advised to look for signs of property damage that may indicate poor natural ground conditions. |
Farnham Common is a relatively affluent area with very large properties to be found in streets like Blackpond Lane, Wood End Close, Rowanhurst Drive, One Pin Lane and Old Beaconsfield Road. These large properties have been built in various periods, from, say the Georgian right through to the present recent years and many have been refurbished, redeveloped or redesigned. With that, we'd recommend getting a Level 3 RICS Building Survey if you're thinking of buying one. People often tend to think in terms of age when they think of getting this highest level of defect survey, however the sheer scale of some of these properties always requires more time on site for an inspection and a rigorous consideration of, for example any cold bridging where extensions and annexes have been added more latterly to an original property. |
