Don’t take a risk with contaminated land

A recent article from Groundsure has uncovered that contaminated land is more prevalent than originally thought. The article has stated that former industrial land across England and Wales could be twice as contaminated than original figures suggested, meaning that these sites now occupy around 4% of land across the UK.

With these new statistics being uncovered, contaminated land is becoming a huge issue for homebuyers. Ensure your clients are aware of any risks of contaminated land to their property by ordering your searches via Searches UK’s intuitive software.
