Improvements include:

• Improved flood risk assessment – including JBA 5m groundwater data, detailing all sources of flood including groundwater and surface water risk. Also reviews historical flood events & proposed flood defence schemes.

• Enhanced view of potential energy installations – the energy alert details specific energy infrastructure categories within 5km of the property. This alert includes existing and proposed: oil and gas sites including fracking; power stations including nuclear; wind power projects; solar farms and major energy infrastructure projects.

• Improved transportation summary – provides detail on HS2 (route, safeguarding, stations & depots); Crossrail 1 (route, stations, worksites); Railways (active railways, stations), Docklands Light Railway, HS2 and the Crossrail 1 project.

• Enhanced screening on planning applications.

• Enhanced visual and cultural designations – e.g. building conservation areas, listed buildings.

• Based on Land Registry polygons for improved accuracy

• Colour-coded risk rating on front page with a pass/next steps indicator clearly identifying risks

• Fewer pages (up to 70% less), reduced printing and postage costs

• Includes only relevant data – no blank maps or excessive data

• Clear and practical next steps and recommendations in plain English

The Groundsure Energy and Transportation is a new risk report utilising data only available from Groundsure.

The report includes a comprehensive search of existing or planned energy and transport infrastructure covering either residential or commercial property transactions.

Intelligently filtered and giving key next steps, this report identifies major transport projects (HS2, Crossrail 1 and 2), as well as their safeguarding areas, compensation schemes and other relevant environmental data (noise and visual impacts), active and historic railways and tunnels, including underground systems (London Underground, DLR, Tyne and Wear Metro, Merseyrail and Glasgow Subway), existing and proposed energy generation or extraction sites (including solar, wind, oil and gas and fracking), power stations including nuclear and all energy projects registered with the Planning Inspectorate – not just the Yorkshire and Humber CCS Pipeline.

This new report replaces Groundsure’s Highspeed 2, Energy, HS2 & Energy and Underground searches. 

The Groundsure CON29M Official Coal Mining Search  is an official CON29M coal mining report for residential & commercial property and is licensed by the Law Society. The report answers all of the official 11 questions requested in the Law Society guidance notes 2018 and has additional information should the property fall under the Cheshire Brine Compensation area.

The Law Society guidance 2018 requests that the following questions are answered and these are all covered in this report:

2. Present underground coal mining
3. Future underground coal mining
5. Coal mining geology
6. Past opencast coal mining
7. Present opencast coal mining
8. Future opencast coal mining
9. Coal mining subsidence claims
10. Mine gas emissions
11. Emergency Call Out Incidents

The report includes official licensed Coal Authority data, and a comprehensive Coal Search Report Insurance Policy.
