Properties in Swindon which are built in close proximity to the River Cole, in streets such as Brington Road and Dragonfly Road, are in an area where flood warnings and alerts are issued 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). |
Properties sometimes have issues with ground stability in certain locations in Swindon. In a recent environmental search, taken out for a property in Cowleaze, 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."

Properties in some areas of Swindon may be affected by environmental constraints. A recent environmental search carried out for a property in The Oatlands revealed that the property was within 250m of an area likely to be impacted by environmental constraints. These included Country Park - Lydiard Park. Areas which have been designated as having environmental or historical importance may impose constraints on property or land developments or alterations. |
