Discover Development Risks with DevAssist reports
Over 40% of the DevAssist reports that complete uncover critical risks of developments that could affect the enjoyment of living in a property, alerting prospective owners before it's too late.
With an increasing number of sizeable development projects being fast-tracked across England and Wales as a result of the National Planning Policy Framework easing the path for planning approvals, it is even more important that home buyers do their due diligence.
Conveyancers and Solicitors are duty bound to consider the contents of a report that they have ordered, and report on it's findings to a client. As such, some report types do not feature by default, leaving critical decision making information unavailable to home buyers.
Location, Location, Location, has been considered to be one of the most important factors when identifying the value of a property. One of the only ways to ensure that a property location has been analysed for potential threats to its re-sale value is to obtain a DevAssist report as any development change in the area could impact the considered appeal of a property.
This is why Property Searches Direct make the Full DevAssist range of reports available for anyone to buy.
