Buying a home

Potentially contaminated land

Many people request information because they are buying a home and have found in a property search that the property may be contaminated.

We offer an electronic search of our contaminated land records at a location, for which we charge £90 for an electronic only report and £95 for a printed report (both prices include VAT).

This search identifies:

  • industrial history from the late 1800s to the 1970s

  • details from our landfill public register

  • details from our contaminated land public register

  • a list of available site reports held at the Civic Centre.

If there are complicated results to the search additional work may be required. This is charged at:

  • £1 for up to ten pages

  • £1 for each additional page (up to ten pages)

If you have further queries that you would like to discuss then please contact us. We may be able provide further information and reports can be viewed at the Civic Centre.
