Open a sample made with the current report template. It shows how available findings, missing checks and questions for your surveyor appear together. Every figure and the example address are fictional.
What this sample demonstrates
The fixture includes example flood-area, crime and nearby-sale entries. Only the crime component has a scored result; the other headline checks stay unknown. Nearby flood-warning areas are context and cannot substitute for a mapped risk result. This is not a report about a real home or a customer's report. Source names in the template describe the services used in real reports; no live source lookup was used for these fictional figures.
Page count and sections vary with the available records. A real report does not guarantee an answer from every source, and a blank or unavailable result is not an all-clear.
Pages from the illustrative sample. The address and every figure are fictional. Tap a page to enlarge.
Evidence and its limits
Look for the source, date and scale of each result. A postcode or regional map cell does not describe every building inside it.
Unanswered checks stay visible
The sample keeps missing checks visible and withholds a headline score when the available weight is insufficient.
Questions for the next step
Use the findings to brief the surveyor and conveyancer. The report cannot inspect the home or resolve legal questions.
Every section of the Complete report, in order
The list below is the table of contents of the current Complete template — the verdict, then safety and environment, value and market, the home and energy, area and lifestyle, the findings written for the address, and the closing material (surveyor questions, your checklist and the sources consulted). Sections marked Lite + Complete are the hazard-screening and closing sections a Lite report also prints.
Full contents — the 33 sections of a Complete report
In the order they print. Sections appear where usable data exists for the address. Coverage varies by nation and source; the report names every check it could not run. Lite prints the 8 hazard-screening and closing sections marked Lite + Complete; the rest are Complete only.

Safety & environment
Flood risk and flood history from the official national maps for your nation, plus flood defences nearby — the mapped flood zone and surface-water risk now and in the 2050s, every flood-warning area within 2 km and 5 km named, recorded flood events, the climate allowances to plan for and whether a policy here could be backed by the Flood Re scheme
Traffic-light cells for the mapped flood zone at the postcode point, surface-water flooding now and in the 2050s, flood-warning areas within 2 km and 5 km, and live alerts within 10 km
Every flood-warning area behind those counts, named, where the national warning feed covers the address — so you can see which catchment the home sits in
Whether the postcode point sits inside a recorded flood extent, with the recorded events, their dates, source and cause
The river-flow climate allowances to plan for across three epochs at three percentiles, and whether a flood policy could be backed by the Flood Re scheme — with the reasons, the premium ceiling for the council-tax band and the mandatory caveats
What the flood check does and does not cover: groundwater, sewer and reservoir flooding are named as outside it, with where to get each
Scotland and Wales: that nation's own flood maps and recorded extents, with the address-level history gap stated rather than hidden
Flood defences: every flood-management asset within about 1.5 km grouped by type — walls, embankments, culverts, outfalls, maintained channels and natural high ground — each with its watercourse, distance, graded condition, below-target flag, maintainer and last inspection, plus capital flood schemes within 5 km; 'checked and none' and 'did not answer' are printed as distinct states
The question to put on the TA6 form and the insurance quote to get before you commit
Ground stability and subsidence screening, radon, and coal-mining area screening — clay shrink-swell for the 2030s and 2070s, every recorded landslide nearby, the radon band for the 1 km square, the coal-mining risk-area status, the ground level at the point, and the seven ground-hazard ratings for the surrounding area with the layer that drives the rating
Traffic-light cells for coal mining, clay shrink-swell, recorded landslides and radon, with the layer that drives the overall ground rating named
Clay shrink-swell class for the 2030s and 2070s under climate change, with the legend and the reason where a horizon could not be rated
Every recorded landslide within the search radius — name, locality, distance and known dates
Radon band out of 6 for the 1 km square, whether it is an Affected Area, whether protective measures are likely for new build, what it means for this home and what a test kit costs
The coal-mining screen: Development High or Low Risk Area status, high-risk-area proximity and the exact layer consulted — an incomplete screen is named as incomplete, never read as clear
Ground level above sea level at the point and the tallest object within 15 m from the national laser height survey, with the sample's provenance
The six natural ground hazards rated for the surrounding 5 km cell — shrink-swell clay, landslides, soluble rocks, compressible ground, collapsible deposits and running sand — plus the non-coal mining layer for the 1 km cell
For each hazard, how far away the nearest higher-rated cell begins — the half that matters, because a Low cell can sit a few hundred metres from a Significant one
An explicit refusal, never an empty table, where the national ground-hazard model does not reach
Contaminated-land screening — historic landfill footprints with distance to the property, authorised landfill sites, recorded pollution incidents and environmental permits nearby (England; named as not checked elsewhere) — every former landfill within 1 km measured to its boundary, every permitted landfill within 2 km, all permits and discharges within 1 km de-duplicated by site, and the statutory register named as not read with the route to get it
Every former landfill site within 1 km measured to the edge of its footprint — whether it lies under the address, its years in use and what is recorded about gas and leachate control — with further sites out to the wider radius as context
Every permitted landfill boundary within 2 km with status, permit reference and the date issued
Substantiated pollution incidents within 1 km, recent and older, with the publisher's information warning and the snapshot dates
Environmental permits and discharges within 1 km, de-duplicated by site — storm overflows, industrial installations, waste operations, water and groundwater discharges, radioactive-substance registrations — with the number of permits each site holds
Every monitored storm overflow within 1 km with its spill count and total hours for each year of the annual return, flagged where the monitor ran under 90 % of the year, the watercourse it discharges to, and the spill record printed beside its permit where the references align
The statutory contaminated-land register (Part 2A) named as held by the council and not read, with the CON29 route to obtain it
Scotland: the regulated-sites registers for that nation in place of the England registers
Air quality, coastal erosion where mapped, and major infrastructure projects — modelled nitrogen dioxide, PM2.5 and PM10 at the address against the legal objectives, the shoreline plan and its policy for each epoch on a managed coast, and every nationally significant project within about 8 km with its stage
Modelled annual-mean nitrogen dioxide, PM2.5 and PM10 at the address in µg/m³ against the legal objectives, with the worst pollutant named and what to ask if anyone in the household has a breathing condition
Kerbside nitrogen dioxide on the nearest busy road, and the days a year modelled above the ozone threshold
A failed lookup printed as a failed lookup, never as clean air
Coastal erosion on a managed coastline: the shoreline management plan, the policy unit and the policy for each epoch, including how it changes under the high climate-change allowance
Every nationally significant infrastructure project within about 8 km — power, transport and water schemes — with type, stage and distance

The verdict
The 6-factor IQ Score out of 100 with its band, the per-factor breakdown behind it, and the coverage gaps identified rather than scored as a pass
The score out of 100 and its band on the cover, built from 6 weighted factors — flood, crime, coal mining, subsidence, radon and energy
How we scored it: each factor's 0–100 sub-score as a bar, with the finding that produced it
A factor that could not be checked is removed and the rest re-weighted; if too little could be answered, no headline score is published at all
The plain-English read on what stands out at this address — every red and amber flag pulled together and explained, with the top things to check on the cover

Value & market
Value and market: the full recorded sale history for the street with tenure and new-build flags, local price context by property type, gross rental yield, what every council tax band costs here, and the tenure at the last sale with any published tribunal decisions
The full recorded sale history for the street (or postcode), newest first — every sale with date, address, property type, tenure, price and new-build flag, with non-market transactions explained; nothing cut to the first dozen
Other sales in the postcode, the median sale price, typical price by property type, and how the wider area compares — local, regional and national average price by property type with sales volume and annual change
Scotland: neighbourhood-level sale statistics with an official per-address route, because no open per-address sold price exists there
Gross rental yield against the going local rent — the yield, the typical monthly rent and the price it was measured against, labelled as an area estimate
Council tax: the Band D charge for the local authority this year, what every band costs per year and per month, which band is most common in this small area and the full band mix of the neighbours
Tenure at the last recorded sale, the tenure pattern of every recorded sale on the street, occupancy declared on the energy certificate, every published property-tribunal decision at the postcode with case reference and link, and the lease-pack checklist of what to demand from the seller
The home & energy
The home and energy: property facts, the whole energy certificate — every element with its star rating, running costs now and after the costed improvements — solar potential, broadband and mobile, every listed building and conservation area within 700 m, and the planning and land designations that shape what you can change
Property facts: local authority, ward, region, dwelling type, built form, construction age band, floor area in m² and sq ft, occupancy at the energy assessment and the property reference number
The whole energy certificate: current and potential band and score, estimated running costs for heating, hot water and lighting now and after the recommended works, every element the assessor rated — walls, roof, floor, windows, heating, controls, hot water, lighting — with its energy and environmental star ratings, every recommended improvement with indicative cost, typical yearly saving and the rating after, rooms, glazing, draught-proofing, carbon footprint now and potential, certificate number and validity, and a verdict on how the home is built
No certificate for the address, or a register that did not answer, printed as exactly that — never a neighbour's certificate in its place
Solar potential: modelled output per kW installed and for a typical 4 kW system, with the best roof angle and direction
Broadband & mobile: predicted fastest download speed, superfast, ultrafast and gigabit availability and indoor signal on all four networks where the postcode data answers — otherwise stated plainly as not checked, with the two-minute check to run yourself
Heritage: whether the home sits inside a conservation area, every conservation area within 700 m with inside/outside and the distance to its boundary, and every listed building within 700 m with grade, distance and listing date; Scotland uses its own designation register and categories
Planning & land designations: green belt, National Landscape (AONB), national park, scheduled monuments, World Heritage Site, air-quality management area, heritage coast, ancient woodland, tree preservation orders, Article 4 directions, built-up area, agricultural land class, heritage at risk within 250 m, registered parks and gardens, local nature reserves, the local plan's status and housing requirement, and every brownfield-register entry within the measured radius — current and since removed
Area & lifestyle
Area and lifestyle: a plain-English picture of the area, walkability with every everyday amenity counted, crime by category over 24 months, every school within 4 km with its grade, stations and stops with distances, road noise, neighbourhood deprivation, the census profile of who lives here, and food hygiene ratings nearby
About this area: a plain-English summary of the place and its surroundings
Amenities & walkability: a walkability score out of 100, the count and nearest distance for every everyday category within about 2.5 km — shops, schools, health, parks, food — and the nearest schools and GP, pharmacy and health services by name and distance
Crime: incidents within about a mile for the last six months and the full 24-month total, months tracked, the 24-month trend, a chart of every category and a table giving each category's total, share, per-month rate and the change between the last six months and the six before
Schools: every school within 4 km with phase, inspection grade where one is published and distance; Scotland lists its schools with the inspectorate's narrative instead of a grade
Getting around: rail and metro stations with distance, mode and lines, and every public-transport stop within 800 m by type, with the nearest bus stop
Noise: the road-traffic noise band, the nearest busy road, every counted road nearby with vehicles and HGVs a day and HGV share, and whether the address sits in or near a mapped noise hotspot
Neighbourhood deprivation: the decile and rank of this small area on the national index, with the domain breakdown where the nation publishes one
Who lives here: residents, households and every category of each census table with count and share — including how households across the neighbourhood own, mortgage or rent — plus the statistical type of area with its pen portraits
Food hygiene nearby: every rated food business within about a mile with type, rating, inspection date and distance, and the rating mix
