ENVIROSEARCH vs HOMECHECK PROFESSIONAL

Law firms are under increasing pressure to minimise the risk for themselves and their clients, and the argument for more detailed search due diligence is becoming ever more compelling.  This is increasingly evident around flood risk with an estimated five million properties in England at risk of flooding. 

With this in mind we have detailed below the differences between the two reports to show you why upgrading to an Envirosearch from a Homecheck Professional might well be in you and your clients interests.
