In addition to providing a more flexible and thorough assessment, we’re excited to announce two major improvements: the inclusion of climate change modules in our Landmark’s EnviroSearch and RiskView reports, plus an innovative approach to coal risk assessment. These advancements ensure that you’re equipped to handle today’s environmental challenges more effectively than ever.
The key environmental risks every conveyancer should consider
These risks can significantly impact property value, insurability and enjoyment of living in, what might be, your dream home. Landmark’s enhanced portfolio provides reports tailored to different levels of risk assessment, giving conveyancers the flexibility to choose the depth of analysis that best fits their needs.
Introducing the ‘coal revolution’: the new way of searching for coal risk
One of the most significant improvements in our new product line-up is our reimagined approach to coal risk assessments. With Landmark’s coal revolution, you can expect faster, more accurate and more comprehensive coal risk assessments. The symbiosis between alert and full assessments in our reports, combined with the added security of our equivalent to a No Search Required Certificate with £1 million indemnity, sets a new industry standard for coal mining risk assessments.
Climate Change: now included in EnviroSearch and RiskView
In response to increasing concerns about climate change, we’ve also integrated our climate change modules into both Landmark EnviroSearch and RiskView products. These modules provide a forward-looking analysis of how climate change may impact a property over time, helping you and your clients understand potential long-term physical risks such as increased flooding, coastal erosion, as well as transitional risks such as energy efficiency of buildings. By incorporating climate change assessments, Landmark ensures that your due diligence is not just relevant for today but also for the future.

Using Flood Risk as an example: the same site, different experience
To demonstrate how these products differ in practice, let’s look at a typical scenario involving flood risk assessment:
Scenario: A Homebuyer has had their offer accepted and is eagerly waiting to arrange their move in date. Before this is possible, their conveyancer is reviewing their Environmental Search to see if there are any concerns to flag to the Homebuyer.
