Property Risk Report
Know the risks before you commit.
Flood, coastal erosion, radon, air quality and road noise, checked for one property and explained in plain English. It comes with the title, planning, schools, crime and value picture too, all for £25.00 including VAT.
If you are VAT-registered you will receive a VAT invoice for this amount.

The risks
What could go wrong, and how close it is.
A brochure won't tell you how far away the nearest flood zone is, or how likely radon is in the area. This report measures it for the property you choose, then tells you what the number means.
Each risk is shown on a map with a clear level, so you can see at a glance where to look harder and what to raise with your surveyor, your solicitor or your insurer.
Flooding
We measure the distance from the property to flood zones 2 and 3, then give it a level from 1 to 6. A home 150 metres from a flood zone reads very differently from one two kilometres away.
Coastal erosion
How far the property is from the erosion zone over the short term (20 years), medium term (50 years) and long term (over 100 years).
Radon gas
British Geological Survey data on a scale of 1 to 6, showing the share of homes in the area likely to be above the UK Action Level.
Air quality
The DEFRA air quality index for the last 30 days, on a scale of 1 to 10, with what the score means for day-to-day life.
Roads and noise
Road noise near the property, with the distance to motorways, A roads, B roads and stations.
Planning constraints
Green belt, flood plain, conservation areas and National Landscapes, all of which can limit what you're allowed to do.
The rest of the picture
Everything else you'd want to know.
Risk is only part of the decision, so the report also covers the property, the area and the market.
- A title plan and key title data, with an early flag on overlapping neighbouring titles
- Nearby planning applications you should be aware of
- Local schools with their rankings, shops, restaurants and crime data
- Energy performance (EPC), where the property has a certificate
- Our own valuation, with asking prices, rents and neighbouring sold prices
- Water safeguard zones, land use and the nearby power network
Your risk overview
The questions an insurer, lender or buyer is likely to ask.
| Risk | What the report shows | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Flooding | Distance to flood zones 2 and 3, and a level from 1 to 6 | It can affect your insurance, your costs and what the home is worth |
| Coastal erosion | Distance to the erosion zone at 20, 50 and over 100 years | A long-term risk to the property and its resale value |
| Radon gas | A level from 1 to 6, with the map around the property | A health risk worth testing for in higher-level areas |
| Air quality | A DEFRA score from 1 to 10 for the last 30 days | Matters most to anyone with a health condition |
| Road noise | Road noise near the property, and distance to main roads | Affects day-to-day comfort and future buyers |
Levels are based on distance and published datasets. They don't account for local topography, drainage or past events, so the report gives early insight. It doesn't replace a survey, legal searches, insurance advice or professional advice.
