GroundSure Homebuyers is a comprehensive residential environmental report which is backed by in-house environmental consultants. The report allows homebuyers to confidently assess the environmental risks to a property that could affect the value and enjoyment of it.

GroundSure Homebuyers considers the risk of the property being identified as contaminated land under Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. The report also includes a detailed flood risk assessment at no additional cost, avoiding the requirement to purchase a second report specifically on flood risk.

Each GroundSure Homebuyers report includes the following key information about properties in England and Wales:

• Confirmation of whether the property is within or close to a radon affected area
• Identification of mining in the area and potential hazards, including identification of natural & mining cavities along with a shallow mining assessment
• An assessment on the possibility of natural ground subsidence
• Details of any former landfill sites in the area
• Details of any mobile transmitter locations in the area
• Information on any hazardous substance consents granted
• Locations of any underground high pressure oil and gas pipelines
• The location of any environmentally sensitive sites including national parks, areas of outstanding natural beauty and world heritage sites, plus much more.

GroundSure Homebuyers also offers homeowners the benefit of a financial contribution of up to £60,000* when a part IIA remediation notice is served by a local authority and where costs to remediate the site will be incurred by the homeowner.
