Environmental Search Reports

Environmental Search Reports

We offer a range of detailed environmental search reports to members of the public, conveyancing solicitors and environmental professionals depending on your requirement.

We are able to provide environmental search reports for both residential and commercial sites

An environmental search can be required for a number of reasons, for example it may be recommended by your conveyancing solicitor when purchasing a property or under instruction from a mortgage lender.

We can provide a selection of reports that will amongst other things, inform you if:

  • the site or surrounding area may be contaminated as a result of previous industrial uses
  • the property is at risk from flooding
  • the property is in an area where natural or manmade ground stability hazards may exist
  • the property is in an area where radon may be an issue

We include our professional opinion in every report we produce and our searches are covered by £5 million professional indemnity insurance.

Our information sources

We draw on a variety of sources to provide as detailed a report as possible, these include the Ordnance Survey of Great Britain, Environment Agency, Local Authorities, The British Geological Society, Coal Authority, English Nature and English/Scottish Heritage and Natural Resources Wales.
