Land Survey Helps Buyers Save Time and Money

May 17, 2010 - PRLog -- The biggest stumbling blocks when either a private individual or a business are looking to buy new land, are the environmental risks involved. Finding low priced land can usually mean there are some sort of issues, which affect the price directly. Not researching the local area and history of the land will be costly if there are any major issues found later down the line.

To help UK consumers during the buying chain, Sheffield based company Green ASAP Ltd offer a pre-solicitor phase option of a local area land survey. This report contains most of the basics needed to make an informed decision on theproblems that the land may be subjected to.

Many homes in the UK are built on land that has a history of landfil, meaning there may toxic gasses released in the coming decades. There are also many commercial properties that are subjected to higher than normal radon gasses being released from the ground. In the United States of America, radon gasses were attributed as being a contributing factor in more than 22,000 deaths every year since 1998. This is according to the USEnvironmental Protection Agency.

Philip Wilbourn, Managing Director at Green ASAP Ltd, thinks the housing market has been missing this kind of report when they actually cost very little to produce: "The Green Light Report not only helps consumersmake a decision on buying land for monetry reasons, but also a decision that ultimately effects the health of their family and themselves. This is why for just £30 we are seeing a large uptake in the commercial sector, and we expect the public to see the benefits too".
