If you are buying a property in a radon affected area, or re-mortgaging, lenders will likely ask for a Radon Report.
This report will need to confirm whether or not the property is in a radon affected area, showing the estimated cost of any recommended remedial works relating to the Property or building ("the Remedial Works").
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas with no taste, smell or colour. The geological conditions in certain areas can lead to higher than average concentrations.
The gas is diluted to harmless levels out in the open, but has the potential to build up to higher concentrations indoors posing a risk to health and studies have shown that it increases the risk of lung cancer.
Where 1% or more of homes are estimated to exceed the Action Level, the area should still be regarded as a radon affected area.
Radon Protection UK can assist in providing a radon report if required. The report will be sent to you by e-mail (usually within two working days).
