Environmental Searches
At Searches UK, we offer a full range of Residential Environmental Searches, from leading environmental specialists including Groundsure, Landmark (which also includes Argyll and SiteSolutions), and Future Climate Info. These reports will find out if a property has been built on land that was previously used for industrial or manufacturing purposes, as well as ensuring that there are no traces of heavy metals, toxic waste or radon gas left in the immediate area which may negatively affect the buyer’s quality of life.
Our Residential Environmental Searches have been tailored to the needs of various types of properties and can be processed for clients anywhere across England and Wales. When choosing which Residential Environmental Search is best suited to the property you are ordering for, Searches UK are on hand to help.
