Local knowledge
Things to know when moving in North Northamptonshire
New-build estates and charges
Large new developments around Corby, Kettering and Wellingborough often come with management companies and estate charges. We review the documents and explain what you will pay and your rights.
Radon and ground conditions
Much of the area sits on ironstone geology, which can raise natural radon levels. Some land was also used for ironstone quarrying or steelmaking. We check the environmental search and follow up any concerns.
Flood risk in the Nene Valley
Homes near the River Nene can be at risk of flooding. We order an environmental search and check the flood history and insurance position before you exchange.
