HOW DOES AVISTA WORK?

Over 110 million data points are analysed to produce every Groundsure Avista report including mining and contaminated land features, all four major flood risks, ground stability, radon, current and planned energy features, transportation, and 10 years of planning data. It also incorporates new analyses for key transition risks from climate change impacts that could impact on property decisions: property-specific EPC ratings, tailored guidance on energy improvement costs and, where relevant, flood mitigation costs are provided as part of the ClimateIndexTM analysis, provided automatically at no extra cost in its main residential environmental searches.

The Avista Action Alert saves transaction time and trouble by providing a simple visual guide to the complexity of the environmental factors associated with a property and the likely impact any further steps will have on a transaction's progress, helping conveyancers prioritise work at a glance.

This unique feature based on Groundsure’s IQ allows busy professionals to easily identify if a transaction requires more detailed attention and/or financial investments, and plan accordingly. It presents easy to follow ‘next step’ strategies, whatever the outcome of the report.
