| Key Features | Why This Matters |
|---|---|
| Combines twelve essential searches in one report, including contaminated land liability, flooding, ground stability, non-coal mining, radon, energy, transportation, Cheshire Salt Search, planning applications, planning constraints, coal mining (CON29M) and ClimateIndex™. | Brings together environmental, mining and climate risk information in one residential report, making findings easier to review and act on. |
| Includes coal mining (CON29M), non-coal mining and complete mining information, with a mine entry interpretive report included where applicable. | Helps identify historic mining risks and provides clearer guidance on whether the main dwelling or wider property may be affected. |
| ClimateIndex™ provides forward-looking climate risk modelling over 5 and 30 years, covering flooding, ground stability, coastal erosion and EPC-related transition risks. | Supports advice on future climate exposure, insurability, mortgageability and energy performance considerations. |
| Enhanced flood risk assessments include both building-level and site-wide analysis across river, coastal, surface water and groundwater sources. | Gives a clearer picture of flood risk to the property and the wider site, supporting better advice around insurance, lending and resilience. |
| Ground stability screening covers natural instability, infilled land, subsidence-related hazards, sinkholes and coastal erosion where relevant. | Highlights potential structural and land stability issues that could affect maintenance, future works and property value. |
| Includes planning applications and planning constraints, with planning application data dating back seven years. | Helps users understand nearby development activity and any relevant planning-related constraints around the property. |
| Clear chaptered report layout with sections for summary, risk assessment, maps, data and next steps. | Makes the report easier to interpret, helping conveyancers identify priorities quickly and work through findings more efficiently. |
| Direct consultant access, colour-coded risk indicators and links to Groundsure’s Knowledge Base. | Supports faster follow-up, clearer risk identification and easy access to additional guidance where needed. |
