Landcycle has produced a comprehensive property report that gives insights into valuation, planning and environmental factors along with other useful information such as local schools and facilities. This is not a replacement for a legal report but this report will certainly help you divine more information about a property whether you are buying it or selling it. The report will give you an early insight into facts about the area, including crime data, radon gas and air quality. It will also flag potential boundary dispute issues and let you know if there are any neighbouring or local planning applications that you should be aware of, not to mention our unique valuation algorithm.
We use some of the data from Land Registry to create a title plan (showing the boundaries of a property) and include some key data point information. Of particular note is an early indication of neighbouring overlapping titles.
The report identifies local amenities, schools including their independent ranking, shops and restaurants which gives you an indication of how ‘sustainable’ the property location is along with local and national crime references.
This section shows if the property is located in greenbelt, floodplain or near or within a conservation area or an outstanding area of natural beauty. This information is important when considering home ownership and it can affect what can be achieved if a planning application was being submitted.
Climate change is a growing consideration. So knowing if your property is liable to costal erosion, flooding, poor air quality or radon gas is an important knowledge point.
Distances to roads and location of stations is not necessarily important to everyone but a future buyer may use this information as a selection criterion. Can I walk to a station or do I have to drive far to connect with a major trunk road is an important insight into how sustainability the property performs. Road noise is also an important consideration when assessing a property.
Water safeguard zones are designated areas in the UK where actions are taking to protect drinking water from pollution. Combined with Land Use classification, these are important elements around environmental impact assessments and compliance with land use regulations.
This data set shows the property’s relative position to overground and underground cables and towers and pylons. This is important data if you are concerned about your property being close to overhead electricity lines or if you need to connect to the national grid with proximity to power and substation locations.
Depending on if the property has had an Energy Performace Certificate EPC survey this can provide a list of the current state and recommendations to save energy and costs.
