What Are the Flood Risks in Kingston?

Are There Ground Stability Concerns in Kingston?
As part of the conveyancing searches, a ground stability search will be carried out. This will reveal any issues affecting the ground surrounding the property such as subsidence, risk of landslides and proximity to past and present mining areas.
According to Geobear’s UK Subsidence Map, there are signs of subsidence throughout Kingston, with some areas at high risk and most areas at medium risk. Nearby London has the highest risk of subsidence in the UK due to its dense population and architecture.

Your conveyancing searches will highlight any threat of radon gas near the property you’re buying. As it is present in most areas, don’t be alarmed if you see it in the search results. The main thing is that the level is low. 1-3% is typically the average potential of radon gas present.
