    1-3% was what I was told. I tested after I moved in. The amount of radon scarcely registered, and was way beneath danger levels.

    I had this come up on a purchase in Kettering, been told a lot of Northamptonshire has this issue, no houses would sell if its such a major problem. My place has been tested and I'm waiting for the test results from the solicitors, not too worried about it as solicitors say it comes up on nearly every search for the area.


    Your local solicitor should already be aware of it, what area are you in?

    Kettering too, but my buyers solicitor is in Preston.
    I am responsible me, myself and I alone I am not the keeper others thoughts and words.
