Flood risk (rivers and sea)
0 of 48 postcodes checked are in Flood Zone 2 or 3, so most of Fremington sits outside the river and sea flood zones. Low-lying streets and surface water can still catch people out.

Radon
The 1 km radon map square at the centre of Fremington is class 5: an estimated 10 to 30% of homes are above the radon Action Level. 100% of the sold postcodes we checked fall in a radon Affected Area. It's invisible and odourless, so the only way to know is a test; ask the seller, or budget for one after you move in.

Ground and building stone
Under most of Fremington the bedrock is mudstone, siltstone and sandstone (100%). Older homes are often built of local stone; check pointing, wall heads and chimney stacks.

Ground stability
The BGS GeoSure 5 km hexagon covering Fremington shows moderate slope instability (landslides), significant compressible ground, significant running sand potential. That's a broad screen, not a site assessment; look for cracking, sticking doors and leaning walls.
