Since the launch of their Green Light Report land survey, a Sheffield surveyor firm has seen big demand for saving money on the traditional house buyers land searches.
In the current age of internet exposure for products and services, consumers have never had it so easy when it comes to saving money. The recent introduction of the HIP pack saw artificially high prices come down quickly for this new requirement, mainly due to online companies offering lower prices. The typical way to buy a house also includes the land searches performed by the solicitors, and because this kind of profession charges high rates per hour, it can be hundreds of pounds.
There is one Sheffield based Land Surveyor, Green ASAP Ltd, who offer an online report that exposes environmental issues before the need to appoint a solicitor. This means any potential problems can be considered before the need to spend money on the solicitors land search fees.
The success of the Green Light Report shows the concerns that people have with not just saving money, but also the land around the property they either own or want to buy. “We launched this land report in response to what we saw as a shift in demand for knowledge, mainly about flooding. Then after the market research we saw there were a whole host of other concerns, regarding ex coal mining areas and postal codes that fell under high Radon levels” said Philip Wilbourn, managing director of Green ASAP Ltd. He went on to add: “What we didn’t realise was that we were offering a substantial saving over the existing format for land searches, and this is where the boom in sales came from”.
Consumers are more aware of Green issues and the effects of the land on which a property is built, and more information about the Green Light Report can be found at Land Survey Online.

Land surveyor online
Traditionally you would normally go through the yellow pages or perhaps go to a well known local firm when you need the services of a land surveyor. It is not, even in this modern age, something you would really expect to be able to find a solution to on the Internet. Until now that is...
Green ASAP Ltd in Sheffield have developed an online system, that uses the latest technology to offer a full set of land survey results for the essential things you need to know. There are still so many people paying over the odds for land searches when it comes to buying a house or commercial property. In fact a sample that Green ASAP Ltd use is a local estate agent to them in Sheffield, who typically charge £249 for the land searches when someone buys a home.
The fact that the Green Light Report is an online survey, and uses a system that generates most of the report without human intervention, means it costs just £29.99 for the full land survey report. This kind of service has not been available to most of the public in the past, and no opens the avenue to cheaper, clearer land surveys without the high costs that usually come with it. It also gives the more savvy consumer the opportunity to check out a local area before they even start to search for property or land. This saves all the time taken up with travelling to and attending a viewing. Once the land survey from Green Light Report comes back, it gives the 'Green Light' to go ahead with the interest you have in that location. It also saves on the paperwork that is normally involved, so helps you to go green as well.
If you are worried about Radon levels, flood planes, ex coal mining areas and shrinking clay, then this affordable and quick (just 4 working hours in most cases) land survey will give the peace of mind that you need to go ahead in the property market.

Land Survey From GreenLightReport.co.uk Can Protect Your Investment
If you are worried about the potential of flood damage to your home, one Sheffield based firm offers a chance to find out what the risks are through their website portal.
With climate change now a real concern for so many of us, we are constantly seeing homes across the UK being damaged by flooding. The risk of flood has never been greater, with what seems like months of rainfall often falling in just a few days. Sheffield based company Green ASAP Ltd know only too well, having been affected directly by the great Sheffield flood of 2007.
Not just for peace of mind but also for insurance purposes, most of us would like to know the extent of the risk of flooding in the areas we live. This kind of information has previously been hard to attain, and is something we usually only come across at the point of either conducting land searches when moving house, or when we try to get house insurance for the first time. Finding out that you live in a flood plain after buying a new home is a potential nightmare.
Burst banks are not the only reason why there can be water damage to a property either. Flooding can result from a wide range of events and processes, and there is a misconception that that managing flood risk is all about dealing with flooding caused by rivers. But a significant proportion of flood related insurance claims within the United Kingdom are from non-fluvial flooding. That is from sources other than rivers.
The GreenLightReport uses some of the most sophisticated flood risk information available alongside the standard Environment Agency flood plain information in order to give you the best possible indicator to the flood risk associated with your property. In addition, unlike many flood risk providers (insurers included), the GreenLightReport looks at the data in relation to your actual property and not the generic post code area in which it is located. The flood information is looked at by highly trained Environmental Surveyors and is not an automated computer driven process. And the fact it is available on the internet for less than £30 means the data you want is more accessible than ever.
