WHAT DOES the ENVIROESSENTIAL REVEAL?

It consists of the relevant datasets from all the key information sources, which includes Dye & Durham’s own high-quality research of historical maps for potentially contaminated land and in-filled land.

Each data module includes various information key to an environmental report. Consideration of environmental issues and contaminated land has become a key element of the conveyancing process. Identifying historical industrial activities and past waste disposal practices such as gas works, chemical works, landfill sites, storage works and petrol stations ensures that the homebuyer is informed in-line with Law Society guidance.

As well as contamination, other environmental risks can affect a property. The Law Society practice note lists surface water, groundwater, river and coastal as the most common types of flooding. This report contains comprehensive, property-specific information on these flood risks from all the authoritative sources. It goes further by reporting the recorded history of flooding for the property and an indication is also given of the likelihood of obtaining flood insurance.
