What is an Environmental Risk Report?
Description
When it comes to purchasing or selling a property, understanding the environmental risks that may be associated with it is essential. The Environmental Risk Report from Intelligent Home Information offers a comprehensive, in-depth analysis of a property’s environmental condition, providing you with valuable insights and peace of mind.
Our Environmental Risk Report goes beyond basic property checks and takes a holistic approach to assessing the environmental factors that could affect your property. Here’s a more detailed look at what the report includes:
Radon Risk Assessment
Radon gas is an odourless and colourless radioactive gas that can enter homes from the ground beneath. Prolonged exposure to elevated radon levels can increase the risk of lung cancer. Our Environmental Risk Report evaluates whether the property is located in an area at risk for elevated radon levels and offers guidance on the necessary steps to mitigate this risk if needed. With 1 in 10 homes in the UK affected by radon, understanding this risk is essential for the health and safety of anyone living in the property.
Flood Risk Analysis
Flooding can cause extensive damage to property and disrupt the living conditions for its occupants. The report assesses the property’s susceptibility to all types of flooding, including surface water flooding, groundwater flooding, and other flooding risks that may arise from nearby rivers, reservoirs, or coastal areas. The Environmental Risk Report also considers potential future flood risks related to climate change, helping you make a proactive decision about purchasing or selling a property.
Ground Stability Assessment
Ground stability is often an overlooked aspect of property purchases. Our Environmental Risk Report looks into potential issues such as subsidence (the gradual sinking of the property’s foundation), landslides and soil instability, which can cause significant damage to a building. The report evaluates historical data and geological surveys to determine if the property lies in an area prone to these hazards, helping you assess the long-term viability of the property.
Energy Features & Transportation Risks
Our report provides insights into any current and planned energy features nearby, such as wind farms, fracking sites, or other energy-related infrastructure. These features may impact the environment around the property or affect its future market value. Additionally, if the property is near major infrastructure projects like HS2 or Crossrail, we assess any potential disruption caused by construction or ongoing operations. This data ensures you are fully aware of the potential impact of these factors on your living experience and investment.

Planning Applications

For example, new developments, infrastructure projects, or zoning changes can lead to increased traffic, noise, or alterations to the local environment. Our Environmental Risk Report includes 10 years of planning data to help you understand the potential risks and opportunities posed by nearby developments.
