There are so many 'undesirables' around here that we've stayed for 11 years...! And would be staying longer if the house wasn't too small...
See, that is the attitude that I am worried about - our buyer is a self professed location snob. He couldn't afford the location that he really wanted so he's having to make do with here instead. Mind you he has already clocked our cctv (installed purely because my hubby is a gadget freak)
I'd better not start packing yet then

In small quantities Radon Gas does not represent a major health risk. Only when Radon Gas is in areas of increased concentration can it cause a major issue to health.
Radon Gas is a radioactive gas that is present in all rocks, solids, concrete and bricks. Since Radon Gas is naturally occurring, its concentration is directly related to the geology underneath your home. As Radon Gas is formed naturally there are some parts of the UK that are more at risk of Radon Gas than others (such as North Wales). To help people identify if their home is in an area of high Radon Gas concentration the Health Protection Agency (HPA) in the UK have conducted an in depth study of Radon Gas and identified the risk of Radon contamination across the UK. This information is readily available from the HPA in the form of a Radon Map.
Radon Gas cannot be detected by any human senses – it is a colourless and odourless gas so it is impossible to know the levels of Radon Gas without proper testing. Thankfully testing for Radon Gas is a simple process. The first step any home owner should take is to look at the HPA Radon Gas map to identify the level of Radon Gas risk in their area. Secondly, a Radon Test Kit should be purchased - these are readily available on-line from companies such as Timberwise.
Hope the above helps....0
