Southend-on-Sea has some areas, mainly coastal, where dwellings have been subject to flood warnings and alerts from time to time. This is also the case with some of the channels linked to the River Roach: dwellings in streets like Wyatts Drive and Colbert Road are equally subject to flood warnings and alerts. 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). |
A recent Environmental Search for a property in Wilson Road, Southend-on-Sea SS1 1HG noted that there was a moderate potential for natural ground instability in the area within 50m of the property. This finding did not necessarily mean that there was a cause for concern in terms of the property's stability: active subsidence depends on local conditions such as the proximity of trees. A house buyers survey is advised to look for signs of property damage that may indicate poor natural ground conditions. |
Some properties in Southend-on-Sea are located nearby to existing or proposed sites for solar farms. A recent environmental search carried out for a property in South Crescent, Southend-on-Sea, SS2 6TB for example, flagged up that the property was built within 2km of existing or proposed solar farms. The location of wind farms or turbines can be contentious due to visual impact. |
