Local knowledge
Things to know when moving in West Northamptonshire
Radon
Parts of Northamptonshire have higher natural radon levels because of the local ironstone geology. We check the environmental search and, where needed, explain whether testing or protective measures are advised.
New-build estates
Large urban extensions around Northampton and the market towns often come with management companies and estate charges. We review the documents and explain what you will pay and what happens if charges go unpaid.
Flood risk near the Nene
Homes close to the River Nene and its tributaries in and around Northampton can be at risk of flooding. We order an environmental search and look into any flood history before you exchange.

Questions
Moving in West Northamptonshire
Yes. We work entirely by phone, email and online. Local searches come from West Northamptonshire Council and specialist providers, whoever orders them. That means you get the same checks, including radon and flood information, without needing to visit an office. We keep you updated at every stage.
It’s worth checking. Radon is a natural gas that can build up in homes, and some areas here are more affected than others. The environmental search shows whether the property is in an affected area. If it is, a simple test can confirm levels and protective measures can often be fitted.
