The UK's national geoscience agency, publishing free geological risk datasets covering radon, mining hazard, subsidence, and ground stability — critical for property environmental due diligence.
Description, fields, and how we track updates on the provider’s site.
The British Geological Survey (BGS OpenGeoscience) provides open access to a range of geoscience datasets focused on geological risk factors impacting UK properties.
Key datasets include radon gas potential maps, mining hazard data (covering coal, tin, salt and historical mines), ground stability information related to subsidence, hydrogeology, and superficial deposit thickness.
These datasets are primarily utilised by environmental search companies, insurers, conveyancers, and property professionals who require detailed ground condition and risk assessments.
Data can be accessed via the BGS OpenGeoscience web portal and through APIs, with datasets freely available under an open licence.
