Homes at Risk From Pollution
Posted on: Monday, 30 January 2006, 09:00 CST
Industrial pollution is the biggest risk to homes in the North East, according to a study.
The Landmark Information Group claims of 268,075 residential properties in the NE postal area, 57%, are identified as being at risk of pollutants from industry like hazardous substances.
In the DH postal area 82,136 homes, which represents 71%, could also be affected.
Landmark says its survey's findings show how important it is for homebuyers to get a full environmental survey. James Sherwood- Rogers said: "Environmental risks are more commonplace and have much more of a wider impact than people think.
"Environmental liabilities pose a real threat to new and existing homeowners and their families, as well as potentially having an impact on a property's value."
