Homebuyers is based on Land Registry polygons for improved accuracy, and is written in jargon-free, plain English. The front page features a colour coded risk rating with a pass/next steps indicator, clearly identifying risks. The report also excludes areas where no risk is found, meaning most reports are only 15-20 pages long.
