Environmental & Flood Risk

GroundSure Homebuyers is the only combined residential environmental and flood risk search available in the market.

The report is driven by the highest quality historical information commercially available in the UK - the GroundSure Historical Land Use Database. The report provides clear and concise advice on the risks associated with the property being determined as Contaminated Land under Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. The report also includes the latest Environment Agency Zone 2 and 3 flood plain data and information regarding areas benefitting from flood defences, these combined with the surface water (pluvial) flood data provide the clearest and most accurate picture of flood risk at the property.
