An environmental search will highlight a number of
environmental factors within a given radius of a
home which could adversely affect it.
The risk of flooding,
radon or subsidence are indicated, and the proximity of
contaminated land & high voltage electricity pylons are
shown. |
The environmental search report will contain OS maps
with images of the property and surrounding area. It will
show environmental factors and areas of concern in
relation to the property and will highlight significant
issues within a certain radius.
In relation to the property the map will show any areas
of contaminated land or landfill, and will
identify the proximity of any masts, pylons or hazardous
storage facilities.

Environmental
search report. |
The Environmental report normally contains a
professional assessment of the property in relation to
the nearby environmental factors, and should state
whether there needs to be any further action relating to
any of the issues identified.
The main purpose of the report is to provide you with
the information you need to decide whether a house is
in a good location, and whether the surrounding
environment is suitable for you and your family.
The
environmental report could help determine if the house
you're buying is a sound investment, and will highlight any
environmental issues affecting the market value. The
report is normally produced by a company specialising in
this type of service.
The environmental search normally costs around £40 and typically takes around
a week to compile.
Landmark information group is a
popular source for the environmental search.
