Dwellings in areas to Barking's east, particularly those close to the River Roding, and immediate south, such as in roads like Movers Lane, Jenkins Road and King Edward's Lane, 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, some locations in the vicinity of Barking, including streets such as Windgate Road and Hickley Road, 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 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.

Railway noise pollution is caused by the trains which pass through Barking Station, which is a major interchange (overland and tube (District/Hammersmith & City) lines), affecting nearby streets such as Anne Mews and Wakering Road. Pollution from these two forms is likely to be at its highest where the A406 and railway lines intersect. |

Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?
A Home Buyers Survey is completed by a qualified RICS surveyor and delivers a visual inspection of the property in Barking and the surrounding garden. The aim of the survey, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, is to identify potential risks or defects that you may not know are there such as cracks or damage to the structure of the property, subsidence, damp and infestations.
