The subsidence search provides a subsidence risk assessment for a property with the level of risk calculated from a database of actual UK subsidence incidents using full postcode matching.

The risk assessment and certification service is certified by SPPS ** (Consulting Civil & Structural Engineers and Chartered Building Surveyors with a specialism in subsidence) and the Landmark Information Group.

The level of risk is calculated and presented on the following criteria:

• Low – Fewer cases of clay shrinkage or drainage related subsidence are predicted in this area compared to the average number for the UK as a whole
  
  
• Medium – Predicted risk is over 1 and up to 2 times the average for the UK for clay shrinkage or drainage related subsidence
  
  
• High – Predicated risk is over 2 and up to 4 times the average for the UK for clay shrinkage or drainage related subsidence
  
  
• Very High – Predicted risk is over 4 times the average for the UK for clay shrinkage or drainage related subsidence

The cost of this invaluable insight is £15.00 + VAT per report (£18.00)
