Bassetlaw, Everton
DN10 4AA in Everton has a Medium flood risk - EA NaFRA2 data records 3 properties in a flood risk zone. Heat risk is Medium, with a median (50th percentile) of 27 days above 25°C per year, averaged over the 2021-2040 period under the RCP8.5 high emissions scenario (Met Office UKCP18). Air quality is Medium at PM2.5 7.1 μg/m³, above the WHO annual guideline of 5 μg/m³ (Defra UK-AIR). Ground conditions are Low risk, with Claystone/Mudstone geology; shrink-swell risk is classed as improbable (BGS GeoSure).
National comparison
Flood risk at DN10 4AA is rated Medium, based on Environment Agency NaFRA2 modelling.
Heat risk at DN10 4AA is rated Medium, reflecting Met Office UKCP18 climate projections (50th percentile) for this area, averaged over the 2021-2040 period under the RCP8.5 high emissions scenario. These are probabilistic projections - the 50th percentile is the central estimate within RCP8.5; the full range of modelled outcomes is wide and lower emissions scenarios would produce lower figures. Higher summer temperatures increase cooling energy costs, affect comfort in poorly insulated or south-facing properties, and can accelerate shrinkage in clay soils beneath foundations. Properties built before 1980 without cavity wall insulation are typically most affected.
Air quality at DN10 4AA is rated Medium, based on Defra UK-AIR annual mean PM2.5 data. Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) comes primarily from road traffic, industry, and domestic burning. Long-term exposure above the WHO guideline of 5 µg/m³ is linked to respiratory and cardiovascular health risks. Buyers and renters in higher air quality risk areas may wish to consider whether the property is near busy roads or industrial sources.
BGS GeoSure data classes the underlying soil at DN10 4AA as Claystone/Mudstone, with shrink-swell hazard rated improbable (subsidence risk band: Low). Soil type and shrink-swell behaviour drive subsidence claims following dry summers; recent ABI data shows insurer payouts rose sharply after the 2022 and 2025 hot summers. A structural survey is the reliable way to assess ground risk for a specific property.
This LocalRisk report for DN10 4AA draws on four official UK open data sources: Environment Agency NaFRA2 flood modelling, Met Office UKCP18 climate projections, Defra UK-AIR PM2.5 monitoring, and British Geological Survey GeoSure subsidence mapping. Risk ratings are a screening tool, complementing - not replacing - the searches and surveys ordered as part of a property transaction. Data covers Bassetlaw and is updated as new official datasets are published.
Bassetlaw is a largely rural district of river valleys and market towns and experiences cool, wet winters and warm summers, shaped by flat lowland landscapes.
Environment Agency flood zone data places DN10 4AA in the medium flood risk band. EA NaFRA2 data shows 1 at medium risk, 2 at low risk in this postcode. The band reflects the highest flood risk within the postcode; some properties within this postcode may face little or no direct flood risk. Individual properties within DN10 4AA can differ - a formal flood risk search is recommended before any property transaction.
Practical check: EA data flags 3 properties at flood risk here - check whether the property is among them by comparing its position to the flood zone boundary. With 27 hot days projected (UKCP18 50th percentile, 2021-2040 average under RCP8.5), note which bedrooms face west (hottest in evening) and whether windows allow through-ventilation. With PM2.5 above WHO guidelines here, check which bedrooms face busy roads and how fresh air is drawn into living spaces. These are postcode-level indicators - conditions vary between individual properties.
