It is expensive enough buying a house and moving home without wasting thousands in the process. However, it’s a fact that only one in four residential property deals goes ahead. That means that three out of four prospective buyers spend time and money on surveys and professional fees that count for nothing when the deal drops through. Typically, most deals fail when a solicitor’s searches reveal unforeseen environmental ‘nasties’ such as a being located in a flood zone, contaminated land or a landfill site.
Don’t take the risk
There are other factors that the solicitors don’t search for which could be equally important. Any one of these factors could be a deal breaker. Ignore these finding and you could find yourself the proud owner of a property which that at best is impossible to insure and at worst stuck with a home which no one else wants to buy.
Access to high level information
Now more than ever there is a greater appreciation of environmental problems amongst homebuyers and homeoweners.The ‘GreenLight Report’ for residential property provides prospective property buyers with the same environmental information they pay thousands for in legal search at the end of the deal……but right at the outset. In less than 4 hours you can have an authoritative report advising you in clear, non ambiguous terms of any environmental problems revealed and giving you peace of mind that your imminent investment is financially secure.
Who compiles the GreenLight Report?
