What's in the report
A full PDF report bringing together available property risks, price history and neighbourhood context. The report explains which records support each finding and what still needs checking. A Complete report runs to 33 numbered sections in seven parts: the verdict, safety & environment, value & market, the home & energy, area & lifestyle, the findings written for the address and next steps. Lite is the safety & environment part with the closing checklist and sources.
