Anyone wanna buy a house ? :)

[kronas]

only thing it says for me is moderate to good poloution levels rest is clear :D :D :D :D :D

[peterska2]

mine has a medium pollution level

high concern of historical landuse

no waste processing sites

a high concern as was previously a landfill site in the close area

no concern about landslides

high concern about coal mines and mining

low subsidence and low radiation

and am safe from flood plains.

*phew*

[homealone]

everything ok here except there apparently used to be a landfill site "nearby" & only 250m from a flood plain. (but we live up the hill, luckily).

Good site - cheers yesman:)

That has to be expected, all the info they get is from government agencies. :D

Seems I may be living on top of a coal seam but apart from that all is well :)

[Silent Wings]

Looks like I'm ok. everything came out low :)

[DES_1001]

mine looks great, but i'm on top of a coalfield:shrug: :smokin:

[Jules]

[altis]

We have a landfill site in the neighbourhood ... dunno where :eek:
Polution is medium, which surprises me and everything else is low.

Another one to try is:

[zoombini]

The data must have been collated by a southerner.

Because anyone that is "up north" appears to be over a coalfield...lol

according to mine, my neighbourhood (within 500metres) has a history of industrial useage. Indicated circa 1880.

Funny then isnt it that the area my house was build on was farm land until 1968 when the estate was built.


Still i'll allow for these minor inaccuracies, I think they may refer to the large petrochemical site which is about 1.5 to 2 miles away from me.
