Flooding from rivers and the sea
We checked each postcode centre against the Environment Agency's flood zones.
1 of the 8 postcodes we checked is in a mapped flood area:
- SK6 3NE: Flood Zone 2
A home in a mapped flood area can cost more to insure. Ask the seller about past flooding and any claims.
Surface water flooding
Flooding from heavy rain that can't drain away.
- Low: 1 of 7 postcodes
- Very low: 6 of 7 postcodes
We couldn't check 1 postcode when this guide was built, so they aren't counted above.
Radon
From the UK Health Security Agency's map of each 1 km square.
At 7 of the 8 postcodes we checked, parts of the surrounding square are a radon Affected Area. The highest is up to 3–5% of homes above the action level.
The map shows the highest value in each square, not a measurement for any home. A three-month test tells you about a particular house.
Ground stability
British Geological Survey ratings for the surrounding area, not a particular plot.
- Landslides: significant near 2 and moderate near 4 of the 8 postcodes we checked
Non-coal mining hazard is low or none at every postcode we checked.
Ask your surveyor to look for cracking and movement, and the seller about subsidence claims.
Old landfill sites
Historic landfill sites within 500 m of each postcode centre.
Most old landfill causes no problems, but a home on or next to one can be harder to mortgage.
Conservation areas and listed buildings
Whether each postcode centre falls in a conservation area, on a listed building's site, or under similar protections.
You need consent for many changes, such as new windows or an extension.
Broadband and mobile
Ofcom's predictions for every address at the 8 postcodes we checked.
We couldn't get Ofcom's figures when this guide was built.
